Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Thursday he is not thinking about running for the presidency again in 2028, at least not so soon after the midterm elections.

“I think it’s too soon to tell in terms of, like, you know, who’s going to run,” the outgoing governor said on Fox News’s The Faulkner Focus. “I think we do need to come to grips with what happened in the midterms. I mean, we were losing Georgia, North Carolina, Texas. These are states that traditionally go good for us.”
