The Spin

Pro-Trump narrative

DeSantis may reboot his failing presidential campaign as often as he wants, but it will never gain ground and still risks being superseded by other candidates. He has no personality and is an awful candidate — the Florida governor owes his skyrocketing political ascent solely to the support of the very man he is challenging for the GOP nomination, Trump.

Anti-Trump narrative

While DeSantis' presidential bid is yet to take off two months after he formally entered the race, it's too early to count him out of contention, as challenging a clear front-runner demands a long-term effort in which debates are decisive. If he can successfully attract non-MAGA voters, while presenting himself as the only option able to fight progressives and win, DeSantis could make a comeback to win the nomination.
