Many people said it was likely to happen and indeed it has. Vivek Ramaswamy has now overtaken Ron DeSantis to become the top loser to Donald Trump in the GOP primary race. According to a Kaplan Strategies poll [LINK HERE] Ron DeSantis has now dropped to third place in the presidential preference polling.
KAPLAN – “Vivek Ramaswamy, biotech investor, has made significant strides in his political journey, tying with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the latest national GOP poll. Both candidates claimed the support of 12 percent of likely GOP voters, coming second to President Donald Trump, who maintains a dominant 48 percent lead.
Doug Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Strategies, the firm that conducted the poll, highlights the rising popularity of Ramaswamy in the face of nine competitors. “Ramaswamy outperformed six other hopefuls by more than double, marking a significant surprise in this poll,” Kaplan comments.
While DeSantis remains a top-tier candidate amongst non-Trump choices, he now shares this status with Ramaswamy. The reactions of these camps in the face of this new dynamic are anticipated with interest.
Despite DeSantis’ favorable rating of 59 percent amongst GOP voters, Kaplan suggests that Ramaswamy may have the potential for a higher ceiling, as he is less well-known amongst Republican voters, with a 27 percent Uncertain rate.
Meanwhile, the poll underscores the unwavering support President Trump holds within the GOP, despite the crowded field challenging him. Trump boasts a combined 69 percent favorability rating, leaving little room for uncertainty.” (MORE)
Maybe DeSanchez shouldn’t mock MAGA whether successful or not else he’s going to get a boot up his butt
I liked DeSantis, I wonder what happened?
I don’t think DeSantis’ heart is in it, he was dragged into it.
Who is the girl in the middle? She is pretty.
I did too until he went after Trump and his supporters for trying like hell to do the right things and clean up the swamp and being lambasted because it’s not squeaky clean still corrupt
He lost me there I’m done with him
DeSanchez can fight the fags in Florida he’s good at that
Freakin Meatball
If he’s polling so well, where are the calls from Trumpers for him to drop out? Isn’t he hurting Trump?
Poor Ron. He showed such promise.
Who knew he was another Bush child?
The NeverTrumpers are moving to another guy, praying this new guy can do it… (hint, he can’t)
This guy wanted to have the fed get all your medical records to track you and control you during covid.
Once that fact is commonly known this guy will be done as well.
Trump-Vivek 2024 !! That’s the winning ticket.
(MAGA on steroids)
AMEN!
Who is the girl in the middle? She is pretty.

Amazing what a pol will do when showered with praise, support and promised donations. Easy prey.
I loved DeSantis. I sure did cheer at many of the good things he did in Florida. I didn’t believe for one minute when rumors started about him challenging Trump.....I knew for sure he would never consider such a snaky move. I was wrong.
This complete back-stabbing weasel move sent me from loving him to thinking he was nothing more than your typical power-hungry, ambitious politician. Unbelievable lack of character, plus to throw this chaos into the MAGA base shows it’s all about DeSwamptis, and not America.
Can't see it happening, though. Looks like Ron is this year's Scott Walker.
RINOs Tim Scott and Krispy Kristy receiving 5 % ?
This poll must include left-wingers.
—> To save his political future
This assumes he hasn’t destroyed his political future already with dumb choices.
I’ll be surprised if he ever runs again
Time will pass him by by 2028.

Why do former DeSanctus supporters swing effortlessly to Christie or Scott??
Doesn’t this say DeSanctus had a fair amount of never-trumpet support?
If not, why?
