Joshua Green: “Experience has taught that writing off Trump is unwise, and governors who seem headed for the White House on a rocket ship often blow up on the launchpad. Even so, DeSantis’s showing offers a glimpse of what successful post-Trump Republican politics might look like: still combative and polarizing, still consumed with grievances, but less centered on Trump and more animated by issues and enemies that resonate beyond the MAGA base. What DeSantis has done as governor, and what he’s aiming to do in Florida’s upcoming legislative session, could have a lot more influence on Republican politics than Trump’s next controversy or legal travail.”
“As DeSantis moves toward a possible presidential bid, he’s expanding his fight against corporate America, this time going after big asset managers and Wall Street banks.”
