USA — March 24, 2026 (New York time) — Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he has not ruled out running for the U.S. presidency in 2028 during an interview with Sean Hannity. When asked directly about whether he would continue to run for president, DeSantis replied briefly: "We’ll see." DeSantis, 47, is serving his final term in the state of Florida and will leave office in January 2027, about a year before the 2028 presidential primaries begin. During the 2024 Republican primaries, he was once considered a prominent candidate competing against President Trump. However, he withdrew after finishing second in Iowa, trailing President Trump by about 30 percentage points. DeSantis believes that if President Trump had not participated in the 2024 race, he could have garnered the majority of support from conservative voters. According to the latest polls on the 2028 race, Vice President JD Vance currently leads with about 40% support, according to a survey by Echelon Insights. Secretary of State Marco Rubio ranks second with 16%, while DeSantis receives about 5% support, trailing Donald Trump Jr., who reached 9%. Another survey in New Hampshire yielded similar results, with DeSantis reaching about 5% support, tied with former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. The full interview is scheduled to air on Hannity’s program on Tuesday.
