On this episode of Px3 Justin discusses a rare ray of sunshine for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Despite initially high polling numbers, recent campaigns by former President Donald Trump have seen DeSantis's support decline by 10 points. Nevertheless, the end of the Florida legislative session has revealed a potential campaign in the making for DeSantis, with signs including a visit to Iowa, financial preparations, and staff reshuffling.
