Who would enter office in 2025 with more Republican senators? Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis?

[All Along The Watchtower]

The one who isn’t utterly despised by a majority of the country.

I don’t think there’d be a difference.

[Sir Mohamed]

No difference.

LoL the Ds aren't losing the blue wall forget it Klobuchar, Baldwin, Kaine, Stabenow, Casey, Kaine and Sinema are winning in 24 in a 51/49 or 52/48 Senate D's have to wins combo of Brown, Tester or Manchin to keep 50 plus Harris as Veep and Tester is most likely to win

I really don’t think it’d be much change either, maybe DeSantis does slightly better in NV or WI, allowing the Republicans to take one of those seats, but I don’t really think it’ll be much of a difference, if at all. Both would be virtually guaranteed to have a Senate majority unless the NRSC becomes the most incompetent political organization in history.

DeSantis because he’d do better than Trump and actually has the potential to win a resounding EC victory? (whereas it’s hard to see anything better than a 2016-type win for Trump)

This is particularly true if DeSantis actually manages to take down Trump in a primary, in which case underestimating him in a GE would be even more foolish. Yes, it certainly wouldn’t be a 1980-style landslide, but 2016 + NV + NH + ME + one of NM/MN would definitely bring in a very large R Senate majority and flip Senate seats that wouldn’t flip in a Trump victory, e.g. WI, PA, AZ, and maybe even one of ME/NM, while also securing the House for Republicans (which would be very vulnerable in a narrow Trump victory). All it would take for this sweep is a narrow PV win, which I feel like DeSantis could get (and Trump almost certainly couldn’t).

You’d think the "Trump is uniquely strong for a Republican" meme would have been discredited after the 2021 elections, but apparently it’s still alive and well.

If DeSantis has to uproot Trump, the primary fight would do a lot of damage to the party. But either running unopposed would be about the same.

Trump isn't gonna be president he's being investigated by NY AG for GA Election interference

DeSantis is not running against Trump

We don't know. It's worth discussing all possible scenarios at this point, including the ones you don't like.
