Am I the only optimist who thinks DeSantis can lose re-election next year? Split ticketing does happen here. See 2016. Rubio ran way ahead of trump.
Rubio's expected to outperform DeSantis anyways. By how much is the question.
I still expect both of them to win by over 5%, Rubio by closer to 10 and DeSantis by closer to 5 or somewhere in the middle.
Something tells me Rubio will lose in the primaries
To who?
I'd say any Floridian anti-establishment Trumpy Republican runs against Rubio in the primaries, that guy will win.
I don't think so. Rubio is popular in Florida, especially with Hispanics, and he has Trump's endorsement. Rubio ingratiated himself with Trump since the presidential primaries, and it's paid off for him. I don't think he's in any jeopardy whatsoever, either in the primary or the general.
