I don't see DeSantis losing as a incumbent or after eight straight years of a Democratic president so I assume that he's following a term-limited Trump.
Agreed - not because I think DeSantis is necessarily a strong incumbent, but just because the idea of three one-term Presidents in a row is just bonkers to me.
If DeSantis loses in 2028, then Trump won in 2024. Harder question is which Dem beat DeSantis? Hard to see Harris accomplishing this unless Trump had a tsecond term that was somehow worse than the first.
Is the idea of three one-term presidents really that bonkers in this day and age?
It's increasingly hard to govern this country, and with polarization and general discontent it's hard to keep presidential approval ratings over 50%. I don't see it being surprising at all if he have three one-term presidents in a row.
I think that the 3 consecutive two termers we had recently (Clinton-Bush-Obama) was an aberration. Heck, we almost didn’t get Bush. Hard to say if Biden would be a one-termer. Trump is such a wildcard. He almost seems like he might be the easiest for Biden to beat. DeSantis could probably beat Biden if Trump didn’t run, but that’s me trying to predict something 32 months out.
