This week, Ed Rollins, the one-time campaign chairman for former President Ronald Reagan, and Conservative activist Lillian Rodriguez-Baz, assisted in launching a Political Action Committee in DeSantis’ honor.
It’s worth mentioning, though. The “Ready For Ron” PAC has no direct affiliation with DeSantis — who’s pursuing gubernatorial reelection this November — even though it represents the first clue of the Florida governor pursuing the GOP nomination in two years.

The PAC will start recruiting an “army of supporters” to convince DeSantis to run for President in 2024.
For any other two-year election cycle (midterms in 2022, presidential in 2024), DeSantis might appear as a lock for a run at the White House.

At age 43, DeSantis is seemingly in no rush to make a strong presidential push. Particularly with former President Donald Trump, 75, most likely to seek the GOP nomination in 2024.
DeSantis and Trump are regarded as political allies, and things could become awkward if the two popular leaders were obliged to sling the proverbial “mud” throughout the 2024 primary season.

“The era of President Trump was wonderful, but now, since he isn’t currently running, we must get ready for a new leader, we must be ‘Ready for Ron,’” announced Rollins in a statement.
The PAC has already started a petition online for backers to sign to “draft” DeSantis to run for the presidency, as well as a new advertising campaign to garner approval for a potential DeSantis candidacy.

According to the Daily Mail, the PAC took “the unusual step” of asking the FEC permission to share its supporter list with DeSantis if the governor invariably makes a run at the presidency.
None of the GOP’s nomination contenders (Trump, DeSantis, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, former Vice President Mike Pence) have yet to formally declare their intentions for the 2024 presidency.

Maybe that’s a nod to former President Trump, who is still the Republican Party’s most influential asset.
Questioned whether DeSantis should run if Trump jumps into the race, Rodriguez-Baz — who emigrated from Cuba to Florida as a child — states: “We’re not concerned with whether or not Trump is going to run.”

“To the people that are concerned with that, or to the people that are, I guess, tempted to draw any parallels, we would say that Ron DeSantis is probably the best person, if you look out on the sea of politicians right now, to carry on Trump’s 'America First’ agenda policy.”
