There has been a spate of reporting about Trump being irked with Ron DeSantis lately. Here’s an example from the New York Times. If Trump actually does run in 2024 (for now, his obvious play is convincing everyone he’s going to run), DeSantis will have a ticklish choice: On the one hand, he may figure that he’s young so he can wait, but it is unlikely that he will retain the status he currently has in the party for years to come; on the other, running in 2024 would run the risk of Trump absolutely shredding his image in the GOP forevermore. I’d guess most — almost all? — potential candidates facing some version of this choice will decide to sit it out if Trump goes for the third time.
