A conservative President needs very deep pockets to fend off the relentless lawfare. Without them, he’s toast. I don’t think DeSantis is wealthy enough.
Shouldn’t the parry defend its presidential candidate?
There is lots of truth in what you said. Besides, DeSantis needs much mmore name recognition. I will bet 2/3rd of American voters will not know who is DeSantis. DeSantis is young and would make a great run in 2028.

Money isn't going to be an issue if he runs.
