With former President Donald Trump surging in GOP primary polls after his indictment, people are wondering whether the other top Republican contender, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, should wait until 2028 to run for president.

The thinking makes sense. Trump has dominated the GOP since 2016. He has won two consecutive GOP presidential nominations, and despite having lost the 2020 presidential election, he seems poised to win a third nomination.

DeSantis, meanwhile, who has not announced his candidacy yet but is expected to shortly, has become the de facto challenger to Trump’s stranglehold on the GOP. Cut from similar cloth as Trump, DeSantis has won conservatives over with his mixture of policies and political stunts.
