Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has stated that he would not be former President Donald Trump’s running mate if given the opportunity. DeSantis made the comments on Tuesday during an appearance on the “Wisconsin Right Now” radio show.
DeSantis said that he would rather stay on as governor because the vice presidency “doesn’t really have any authority.” He also refused to be drawn on who could be his own running mate, calling it “a little bit presumptuous to be doing that at this stage.”
The governor also took a swing at both Trump and President Joe Biden over their ability to win over suburban women, who he argued not only have different views on the economy but also on social issues.
DeSantis is currently around 30 points behind frontrunner Trump in the polls. Despite this, he has been vocal in his criticism of the former president, saying that he “wouldn’t be a No. 2 guy” and that the vice presidency “doesn’t really have any authority.”
It is unclear if DeSantis will run for president in 2024, but he has made it clear that he will not be Trump’s running mate if given the opportunity. It remains to be seen who he will choose as his own running mate if he does decide to run.
