Many wonder if he’ll seek political vengeance against people he views as disloyal.

Ron DeSantis is out of the Republican presidential race. But in Florida, his second term as governor has only just gotten started.

As DeSantis returns to Tallahassee, the state capital is ablaze with speculation — and anxiety — about how the governor will wield power in the remaining almost-three years of his term. How will he seek to rebuild his stature in Florida after washing out at the national level? Will he lay the groundwork to run for president again?

And, most of all: Will he take political retribution against Republicans who he sees as having betrayed him in the presidential race?

    Outside of Florida, nobody cares. Enjoy the “find out” phase. Maybe don’t vote for complete pieces of garbage and you won’t have insiders “worrying”.

      First of all, way to empathize with the dozen million or more Floridians who never voted for him or otherwise approved but still suffer from his malicious mismanagement of their state.

      Secondly, you think Florida exists in a vacuum? You don’t think other fascists are inspired and emboldened by his bullshit? If so, I have some oceanfront property in Nebraska to sell you.
