I voted for him twice but prefer that we get some new folks running.

The theory I heard and tend to agree with is that: if Trump runs AND DeSantis runs, that would split the Republican vote and pave the way for another libtard to hold office. Trump would also be around ~78 years old during the next election, which I'm not sure if I'm apprehensive about or not, but others surely might be. Personally, if either Trump OR DeSantis runs, either one would get my vote. If both of them run, my vote would mean nothing anyways, but I'd probably go with DeSantis. Ideally, I think it would be DeSantis' time to shine given Trumps baggage and age.

Edit: Changed apostrophe

So the way it works is that there is a primary election where you vote for the republican candidate, that is where trump and desantis will be in opposition. Once the republican candidate is selected they enter the general election, republican vs democrat. So no need to worry about them splitting the ticket unless one of them runs as a libertarian
