Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he’s “not thinking about anything” when asked if he’s considering a 2028 presidential run. “President Trump faces those term limits. He is not going to be able to run for re-election in 2028.

We’ve got a lot that we’ve got to accomplish,” DeSantis said. “I’m obviously working hard to put points on the board in Florida, but look at the election results two weeks ago for Republicans, that was not good,” he continued. “You know, we’ve got to do a good job as Republicans. And I think that should be the number one priority. And the way you do well in the midterm elections is to produce positive results. And so I would focus on that, this jockeying and all that I don’t think is productive for us, get things done for people,” DeSantis continued. “You know, we showed in Florida when I came in, we were a purple state. Now we’re considered a red state because we produced results and people followed,” the two-term governor added.

This puts DeSantis behind Vance (51%), former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley (9%), National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard (8%), Secretary of State Marco Rubio (5%), Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (4%), and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky (4%). Vice President JD Vance is widely considered the GOP frontrunner in the 2028 presidential election.
