Ron DeSantis is nearing the end of his tenure as Governor of Florida and reportedly wants a job in the Trump administration. Trump should oblige him and give him pretty much any job he wants. This is a no-brainer.
DeSantis has been an outstanding governor and enjoys very high approval ratings, especially from Republicans. He could easily handle a high-level role in any area, national security, law enforcement, domestic policy, just name it.
I have no doubt that DeSantis would be a trustworthy and effective ally, no matter where he lands.
Axios reported:
Scoop: DeSantis “begging” Trump for prime role in administrationPresident Trump has told confidants that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is “begging” for a job in Trump’s administration — including attorney general — Axios has learned.
- DeSantis also has expressed interest in being secretary of defense and even a spot on the U.S. Supreme Court, according to six sources briefed on the discussions.
Why it matters: DeSantis has to leave office at the end of his second term in January and is “looking for what to do next,” according to one source who said Trump is inclined to consider helping out his understudy-turned-rival-turned-friend.Inside the room: DeSantis’ future was on the menu after the two men had lunch at Trump National Doral Golf Club in Miami a week ago Sunday.
- “Ron was begging me to be AG,” Trump told one confidant, who relayed the remark to Axios.
- Said another source: “There was a conversation at that lunch. I don’t think AG is real. But he’s gonna be looking for work and Trump likes him.”
Zoom in: DeSantis’ conversations with Trump got serious in recent weeks after the president dismissed Kristi Noem as homeland security secretary and Pam Bondi as attorney general.
Some liberal media outlets are using words like ‘desperate’ and ‘frantic’ in an effort to spin this story as a negative for DeSantis. It is not a negative. This would be a fantastic pick-up for the Trump administration.
Conservative commentator Clay Travis is thinking Supreme Court Justice DeSantis. Interesting…
That is one role I had not thought of because DeSantis is such obvious presidential material and he is young enough to serve in 2028 or eight or even twelve years from now.
Either way, Trump should take him up on this and put him to work. It’s nothing but win.
