There was a time when the governor of Florida, Ron Desantis, believed everything they said of him. What was it The great hope of the Republican Party “Truth”, the only one capable of Challenge Donald Trump and the politician called to be President number 47 of the United States. And that’s why he made the leap and faced the dreaded enemy. He made the jump and, of course, fell into the void. And he hasn’t left him.
Desantis is possibly the best example of the body of corpses that the current president of the United States accumulates around him, which has so far been destroying rivals in his own party and in the Democrat making that phrase good that he could go out to hit shots to the fifth Avenida in New York and nothing would happen.
Just two and a half years after his baptism as the elected Republican Party in a Post New York PostDe Santis is isolated from the national political scene, in conflict with his once Leal Legislature of Florida and advancing with difficulty towards the goal of his second term with an uncertain future, according to the successful portrait he has made of him The Guardian.
It has been a fall in amazing speed and magnitude. And although few are willing to completely rule out a return for a 46 -year -old politician who was the favorite of the extreme Republican right until he dared to challenge Donald Trump, the truth is that the politician is cheerful.
“It is completely collapsedOy certainly now treat him as a more standard and vulgar governor, “said Aubrey Jewett, a professor of political science at the University of Florida Central to the British newspaper.
“He has lost the ability to move forward. He has lost that brightness that at one time seemed infallible in republican conservative circles. Without a doubt, he has returned to reality, and partly is his work, because governing with an autocratic style does not usually generate many allies,” express the analysts consulted.
In addition, the control that desantis once exercised over Florida legislators has weakened, replaced by an open dissent, a bitter hostility and an insult launch on a series of issues while the two legislative chambers dominated by Republicans try to reverse six years of passivity and restore itself as a co-equal branch of the government.
And that’s not the worst. Desantis, in the words of the president of the Florida House of Representatives, Republican Daniel Pérez, has begun to tell “lies and stories that never happened“And it has become increasingly prone to” tantrums. “
As if that were not enough, he pursues the shadow of a financial scandal. Some Republicans, including Pérez, want to know how 10 million dollars of a legal agreement of 67 million dollars allocated to Florida taxpayers ended up channeled through Hope Florida, a non -profit organization founded by his wife, Casey Desantis, to political action committees operated by her husband’s allies to help annul the electoral amendments of last year on abortion and marijuana.
Desantis has been eclipsed by the newly arrived ascent in Trump’s sky, particularly vice president JD Vance and Marco Rubio, former Florida senator and current Secretary of State, both appointed by the President this month as possible successors.
“It should be noted that when Trump asked who could happen, He did not mention Desantis at all ”, The analysts cited by The Guardian remember. “When Desantis challenged Trump for the presidential nomination, This irritated Trump and many of his supporterswho until then generally appreciated it. ”
