Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has sparked speculation about his successor as his second term in office nears its end. DeSantis has voiced support for his wife, Casey DeSantis, as a potential candidate for the governorship in 2026. He highlighted her conservative values and dedication to principles, suggesting she could further build on his legacy and attract a broader voter base.
DeSantis' endorsement of his wife comes in contrast to President Donald Trump's backing of U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds for the gubernatorial race. DeSantis emphasized that Donalds had not been involved in the victories achieved during his tenure as governor, setting the stage for a potential clash between DeSantis and Trump.
