According to polling, former President Donald Trump is clearly the Republican candidate to beat. His GOP opponents are so far behind him, most only poll in the single digits. The only candidate in double-digit territory is Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).

That middling position would set some up to be selected as the vice presidential running mate. But neither DeSantis nor Trump seems interested in joining forces. And that’s actually a good move by the young governor.
