Ron DeSantis' 2024 road just hit a major Covid-19 bump

This won’t make a difference, no matter how much certain users here want it to.

You cannot stop the Ron!

The dedication some have to DeSantis rivals the kind of commitment people have to Trump. People will believe he’s handled COVID wonderfully regardless of what the statistics say.

Florida consistently has had less deaths per capita than most blue states.

I thought he was the best governor in the country, though?

Seems to me that he should be actually good at, you know, governing, to earn that distinction.

He is. He is brilliant at governing.

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.

Both win by 7-8+ points IMO. But I agree that Rubio wins by more.

DeSantis can lose in 2022 and it's silly to claim otherwise.

He is running against two clowns, so no.

He wins by 7-8+ points and possibly more.

DeSantis was declared dead politically after last summer. At the same time, they were praising Cuomo and giving him Emmys. So... why exactly should I believe this now?

Some people here have memories comparable to goldfishes.

Also, if Trump could win by 3-4 points in Florida during the peak of the pandemic in 2020, DeSantis is winning by at least 5 points no matter what the situation is in 2022.
