The selection of Donald Trump's big vice president could shock the world

Speculation abounds regarding who Donald Trump might select if he is successful in the GOP nomination next year. Many believe that Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, might be the smart choice. Nevertheless, a potential White House partnership is a two-way road, and DeSantis has been vocal in expressing his disinterest. The question remains: would he reconsider and view the position of vice president too attractive to pass up? So far, DeSantis appears not to be swayed.

DeSantis rules out being Trump's running mate

In March, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told Newsmax TV that he did not consider running with Donald Trump. He said, “I'm probably more of an executive guy.” In my opinion, you want to be able to do things. That's why I got into this job in the first place. “We’re able to make things happen, and I think that's what I am most adept at.”

Trump and Ron DeSantis won't work together

Mike Pence fit Trump better because he was soft spoken and a party animal. He wants to be at the top, not Trump's also-ran.

Unlike Trump, Ron DeSantis isn’t one to hold back. He’s made clear his willingness to take on his Left-wing opponents, from schools' 'wokeness' to the Walt Disney Company. Not only that, he's even gone so far as to criticize Trump's chaotic leadership style, branding it "chaotic," and mock the commander-in-chief's coined nickname for him - “Ron DeSanctimonius.” In response, the governor joked about it in an interview with Piers Morgan by saying: “I don’t know how to spell the sanctimonious one. I don’t really know what it means, but I kinda like it, it’s long, it’s got a lot of vowels. We’ll go with that." That said, he still brushed off the jab as "background noise".

"It's not important for me to fight with people on social media. It doesn't accomplish anything for the people I represent." said DeSantis.

Florida's DeSantis Has a Strong Record

A successful governor, he claims to have carried every county in Florida except three last November, expanding his margin of victory. He has toured the country extensively.

In his last year in office, Trump let Anthony Fauci almost run the country's affairs, according to many conservatives, and he did not fire him. DeSantis said he would have fired somebody like Fauci if he had been in charge of COVID. “I think he got too big for his britches, and I think he did a lot of damage,” he said. In the event Democrats win in 2024, Ron DeSantis is concerned about the state of the nation.

You have to look at 2024 and say, regardless of personalities or individuals, if the Biden regime continues, and they're able to pick up 10-15 seats in the House and a couple of Senate seats, this country will be in dire straits,” DeSantis said.

"You can't win just with Republicans," DeSantis said. "You need to win with independents, and you need to convince a few Democrats, which I did in Florida, because they aren't woke, they don't like some of the stuff going on. So I think you could appeal to people across the spectrum." They want their streets safe, and they want quality education.
