DeSantis outnumbered Biden and Trump in another swing state, Pennsylvania, according to a Public Opinion Strategies poll last month obtained by McClatchyDC. Pennsylvania voters favored DeSantis to Biden 45% to 42%, with Trump falling behind the current president 42% to 46%.
While DeSantis and Trump battle for red state voters' approval, the focus has turned to which candidate could win over the swing state voters as well.

During a phone call with donors and supporters of DeSantis, who is expected to announce his candidacy next week, he said there are only three credible candidates in the 2024 race, according to the New York Times.
“Biden, Trump, and me,” DeSantis said. “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.”
