Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) has been a powerful influence in the Republican Party since the midterm elections. In light of fresh concerns about former President Donald Trump, his decisive victory over Democratic rival Charlie Crist in his November re-election campaign has cemented him as the party’s front-runner for the presidency in 2024. However, not everyone is ecstatic about DeSantis’ ascent.
Juan Williams, a liberal political commentator, claimed that DeSantis is, regrettably, the year’s most significant politician. Despite Williams’ fear of the Florida politician, the journalist acknowledged the governor had a successful year in 2022, citing his sizable electoral win and appeal to influential conservative funders.

Williams noted that DeSantis was open to working on bipartisan initiatives but questioned the leader’s combative leadership style, saying it attracted ultra-conservative activists. After that, the piece looked at DeSantis’ significant impact on Republican politics in his native Florida.
Governor DeSantis is beginning to assemble support from illustrious sources despite resistance from individuals like Juan Williams. Elon Musk, a multibillionaire businessman, recently declared on Twitter that he would back the governor if he decided to run for president in 2024.
