Desantis has a chance but Trump does not. A million dead Americans, the highest unemployment rate ever and the sharpest economic contraction since the Great Depression while claiming Covid 19 was under control? Extreme arrogance, ignorance or purely inept that's a huge issue to overcome.
Remember: Trump never had a majority popular vote- 46.9% was his highest share. He lost to Joe Biden with that while Joe got 51.3%.
The only national ballot he ever carried was against Hillary. Can you think of a national Democrat who has less favorability than Hillary?
Trump's negatives will increase in the next year and his positives are already well known. He might beat another Biden run and yet he might not.
Lacking "a dead girl or a live boy being found in his (Desantis) bed" (quote from Edwin Edwards), Desantis looks to be very strong alternative for the GOP.
Deqasantis would get my vote, but not Trump.
