The Florida governor is definitely struggling. But unless Trump really takes off or another rival emerges, he’s got time to recover.
But you know what? It hasn’t happened yet. And there are two basic realities of the 2024 Republican presidential contest that will keep DeSantis in the game for the time being.
The first is that for all his astonishing strength, Trump hasn’t quite reached that tipping point where Republican elites and voters conclude he’s the near-certain nominee and begin to consolidate support for him. His steady rise in the national polls from March through May left him with a majority of the Republican vote despite the gradual expansion of the field opposing him. But his support now seems to have plateaued, albeit at a high level.
