Florida Governor Ron DeSantis firmly dismissed the idea of dropping out of the Republican presidential primary and serving as former President Trump's running mate.
During an interview on the "Wisconsin Right Now" radio show, DeSantis made it clear that he sees himself as a leader, not a number two.
He emphasized that he believes he can accomplish more as the Governor of Florida than as Vice President, a role that lacks real authority.
When asked about his own potential running mate, DeSantis avoided giving a direct answer, stating that it would be presumptuous to consider such matters at this stage.
His focus is on winning the early primaries, which he sees as the immediate priority.
Throughout his campaign, DeSantis has highlighted his achievements as Florida's governor and positioned himself as a conservative alternative to Trump.
In a recent interview on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, he criticized Trump's handling of the Hunter Biden investigation.
DeSantis claimed that Trump's own agencies colluded with Big Tech to censor information related to Hunter Biden's business dealings.
He pledged that he would take immediate action against such collusion, citing legislation he signed in Florida that prohibits state and local government officials from censoring political speech.
DeSantis also expressed his commitment to upholding one standard of justice in the country. He argued that individuals connected to the D.C. ruling class, like Hunter Biden, are able to evade consequences for their actions, while the average American would face legal repercussions.
DeSantis believes that certain institutions have been captured by a particular faction of society, which wields power against those it disagrees with.
In concluding his remarks, DeSantis emphasized the need for a disciplined and focused president who does not get distracted. He believes that the country requires strong leadership to address the issues at hand.
