Ron DeSantis was on Newsmax with Eric Bolling when the host asked if he would agree to become a running mate with Donald Trump as his vice president. He dismissed the notion, although many Republicans would like to see that ticket.
“I think I’m probably more of an executive guy… I think that you want to be able to do things,” he said. “That’s part of the reason I got into this job is because we have action. We are able to make things happen. And I think that’s probably what I’m best suited for,” Gov. DeSantis said.
Bolling then asked DeSantis if he would choose Trump to be his vice presidential nominee.
DeSantis called Bolling’s question “interesting speculation.”

Conservatives don’t want to see the two top contenders attack each other, but it’s happening.
Recently, Donald Trump was asked if he would choose Ron DeSantis, and he said he hadn’t considered it, although he was somewhat receptive to the idea last year. He said his endorsement pushed Ron DeSantis over the top in the gubernatorial race. That is true. When he said he’s a disciple of Paul Ryan, he’s probably referring to DeSantis’s support for salvaging Medicare with privatization, something then-Speaker Ryan promoted. It was a different time.
