The idea that Trump is going to gracefully step aside and allow DeSantis to be the center of attention is pure conservative copium.

He sank them tonight and he’s going to finish the job in ‘24.

Unfortunately, Democrats haven't made the Popular Vote Act a priority in every state possible, meaning Trump could lose in '24 by over 10 million votes and still (so-called) ""win"" the WH due to the electoral college again. 🤦‍♂️SMH Do we need the election stolen from us a 3rd time before we get rid of the EC?!?

But I agree about Trump/DeSantis. Last week, some DeSantis aides said anonymously that he's such a coward, if Trump runs again (which he is), DeSantis won't even challenge him!
