DeSantis won Florida's 2022 gubernatorial election with 60% of the vote. If somehow Trump isn't able to run for the presidency it's a landslide victory for DeSantis v Biden.

There are, in fact, other states besides Florida.

It's impossible to know that for sure.

DeSantis' faltering popularity in the GOP race shows that whatever is popular in Florida isn't necessarily popular everywhere else. I don't think it's a guarantee Biden loses to DeSantis, if it comes to that.

Biden got more votes in Florida in 2020 than DeSantis got in 2022. Even if you assume Florida is a gimme for the Republicans that doesn't really mean shit nationally.

Personally, i think it had to do with his opponent. Everyone said the Democrat candidate was shite.
