At some point the torch needs to be passed, lest MAGA dies with Trump.
DeSantis has separated himself from wannabes like Haley and Noem by demonstrating his very Trump-esque defiance of conventional political norms that the left uses to intimidate potential opponents. The willingness to take the right stand even when you know the media is going to blast you is a critical quality for anyone who wants to lead the opposition to the left moving forward.
Trump has led the nation. DeSantis has led a state.
My ideal ticket is Trump / DeSantis 2024.
DeSantis in 2028 & 2032
