In his run up to announcing next week, Governor DeSantis reportedly told donors that he believes Trump can’t win the presidency in 2024, but he can.

Here’s more via Florida Politics:

– Ron DeSantis is nearing a 2024 launch, and central to his case will be the argument that Donald Trump can’t win.

That was the message he put forth on a call to donors organized by his Never Back Down super PAC Thursday.

“You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing,” Mr. DeSantis told donors, as reported by The New York Times.

“Joe Biden, Trump and me. And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected President — Biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states, which is not great for the former President and probably insurmountable because people aren’t going to change their view of him.”

DeSantis’ argument rests in battleground state polls that have shown him consistently outperforming the former President in head-to-head matchups against Biden. These include April surveys from Public Opinion Strategies in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Wisconsin.

Some may say that this is an uphill climb considering national polling numbers, but there’s plenty of time for that. DeSantis hasn’t even announced yet and made his argument to the American people as to why he believes he can win.

This is obviously a preview of what DeSantis is going to say and I think it’s a solid argument to make since DeSantis has been winning more polls when it comes to beating Biden in the general next year. Whether it works or not remains to be seen, but given how effective DeSantis has been in Florida he definitely shouldn’t be counted out too quickly.
