Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis was once one of the frontrunners to replace her husband, Ron DeSantis, as the Sunshine State's governor. Now, as Congressman Byron Donalds becomes the GOP's go-to candidate, her prospects keep deflating, and many say she is now unlikely to run for office.

A new report from The Miami Herald cites numerous Republican consultants who said the DeSantises recent bad press, coupled with the governor's rising unpopularity could be a recipe for disaster if the first lady decided to run.
