Stone, a Florida resident, told CBS Miami on Friday that he has “no illusions about my ability to become elected governor,” adding: “That’s not the point here.”

But Stone is convinced he could siphon off enough votes to ruin DeSantis’ reelection chances next year. Stone said he would run as a candidate for the Libertarian or another third party, CBS reported…

Stone told CBS that DeSantis should “pledge to the people of Florida that he will fill out all four years of a second term” before reelection.

What “I don’t want to see is for him to be reelected and then immediately abandon Florida to run off and run for president, particularly if he’s running against Donald Trump,” he added.
