Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has a reputation for being a well-liked man. With every speech and decision he makes, more people seem to be drawn to him. In all fairness, it’s pretty easy when your opponents have the competence of a cat in a math competition.
Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, gave his support to Gov. He predicted that DeSantis will easily defeat any other candidates for the crown when 2024 arrives.

A new big name appears to have joined the DeSantis train. It’s none other than the most popular podcast host in America, Joe Rogan.
Rogan was chatting about politics with Gina Carano (MMA fighter). Carano asked Rogan if he was “throwing out any support towards anyone” or if he was going to hold off.
Rogan apparently didn’t feel the need to “hold off.”
“Yeah, I think Ron DeSantis would work as a good president,” Rogan said. “I mean, what he’s done for Florida has been admirable.”
Rogan continued to elaborate on why he supported Florida’s governor for President, and a lot of it had to do with the current health of Florida itself:
“I feel like what we did for Florida, people gave him a lot of grief, but ultimately, he was correct,” Rogan said. “He was correct when it comes to deaths, he was correct in terms of protecting our vulnerable populations, he was correct in terms of distribution of monoclonal antibodies.”
“You know, he is not perfect, he’s a human being, but what he’s done is stand up for freedoms,” Rogan continued. “There’s some weird gaslighting s–t that went on where people equated freedom and saying the word freedom to like right-wing bigotry and hate is so strange.”

We’re still a ways off from 2024 at the moment, and DeSantis isn’t saying whether or not he’s going to run, but the chances of him doing so are extremely likely. He’s reaching his term limit as governor of Florida and he’ll never have more sweeping support for the role as our nation’s leader than he does now.
If he does decide to run, he will probably be in conflict with Donald Trump. However, for now, the midterms are DeSantis’ primary short-term focus and neither man has set a precedent.
Time will tell, but if DeSantis runs he’ll be doing so with a lot of support and from people who previously used to vocally support Democrats.
