I was thinking the same thing earlier today.
On one hand, he could be considered more electable and win the independent and moderate voters that did not like Trump, plus hardcore Trump supporters, as well as the loyal high-propensity republicans. In this scenario, he could feasibly defeat Biden.
On the other hand, he could piss off a lot of Trump's avid supporters, to where they don't vote. His brash personality and rude rhetoric could also repel the independent and moderate anti-Trump voters who went for Biden. The more loyal republicans will tow the party line and vote for him, just as they would for Trump or anyone else. In this scenario, DeSantis gets defeated badly as Biden sails to re-election with a comfortable margin.
The media seems to be going with the first narrative. But I wouldn't be surprised if the second scenario plays out and DeSantis gets trounced in a way that makes Trump's 2020 performance look like a success.
