Republican Florida governor Ron DeSantis is headed to Utah for a fundraiser, further raising speculation that he is running for President. After all, not a single person in Utah is able to vote for him, and he's sitting on the largest campaign war chest in the country, so if he is NOT running for President then he has no reason to go. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Ron DeSantis is running for president in 2024. Sure. He has not officially declared. Yes, he's denied. All of that said I've focused on the 2022 gubernatorial, but the dude is headed to Utah on Jan, uh, July 20, excuse me, for a series of fundraisers with wealthy people in the state of Utah. Now, Ron DeSantis, as I've mentioned, is sitting on more cash than I think based on what I've seen than any other candidate in the United States of America, right? It it's a campaign year and Ron DeSantis has more money than literally anybody else. Guy has more money than Donald Trump save America political action committee, which that one has more money than the Republican and democratic parties combined, which means Ron DeSantis has more money than anybody else in the fricking country. Right now who's running for office.

So why the hell is he going to Utah to raise even more money? The answer is simple because he's running for president. He just doesn't wanna announce that he is running for president until he gets through with his gubernatorial campaign. This much is obvious folks. Like we can't dance around this issue anymore. He is a candidate in all but official declaration as a governor of a state. It's not completely uncommon, I guess I should say to go travel to another state for a fundraiser, but that is typically only done. If it's a neighbor, state or a state that has a lot of business in your state, right? We see plenty of Republicans going up to New York and doing fundraisers with wall street types and all that. Cuz they got business everywhere. I ask you this, where's all the business coming from Utah to Florida to warrant Ron Ron DeSantis, excuse me, making a trip over there to raise money when he's already sitting on more money than anybody else.

There's no sense in it. Unless of course he is in fact building that war chest so that he can eventually flip it over into a political action committee, which he could then flip over and use it to run for president of the United States. That is the only logical explanation to me again. If Utah was, you know, sending billions of dollars over here to Florida, which they're not, it would make sense for him to go there and schmooze, if he was so desperate for money, that he had to leave Florida to go talk to people who literally can't vote for him, it would make sense. Neither of those two things are happening. So the only logical explanation is that Ron DeSantis is definitely running for president in 2024.
