Newly reelected Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose 19-point victory over Democrat Charlie Crist surprised him and most of the political establishment, said that a Republican should be able to repeat his win on the national stage if they follow his model of ignoring polls and governing with their gut.
In his campaign-style autobiography, The Courage to be Free, DeSantis wrote, “From day one, I was fully prepared to let the political chips fall where they may. That we not only succeeded electorally, but did so in dramatic fashion, demonstrates that doing good policy can lead to good politics.
Trump, a former supporter, appears concerned about a DeSantis bid and has criticized him recently. DeSantis hasn’t taken the bait, except to note that unlike Trump, he won his reelection and won big. Considering the state’s electoral history, DeSantis expected a close election and dismissed reports of a blowout. “Winning by 5% would represent a ‘landslide’ victory for a top-of-the-ticket candidate in Florida,” he wrote.
“Whereas we had won in 2018 by just over 30,000 votes, in 2022 we won by more than 1.5 million votes — the largest raw vote margin of victory in Florida gubernatorial history,” he wrote.“We were able to accomplish these great electoral triumphs by taking the political road less traveled. We spent four years ignoring polls, setting out my vision for the state, successfully implementing that vision, and producing tangible results,” he concluded in the book.
