Exactly, wait until then and if he continues his extreme rhetoric he’ll lose even against Harris

DT's got a better chance of getting into prison than back in the white house. :D

Last year several candidates traded at low prices and hopefully that will happen again when the market hots up.

Looks like SC going to overturn roe v wade, could rally younger people to vote in the mid-terms now.

Even before this, I’m thinking I’m the only who thinks the Dems have a decent chance of holding onto the Senate

"2000 Mules" is now available for digital download. Every American must see this movie. It's the most important political documentary ever made, because it reveals with irrefutable proof what really happened in the 2020 Election. The film is now on two great platforms where the Radical Left cannot censor it or take it down. Watch at SalemNow.com or 2000Mules.locals.com.

DeSantis now favourite on Predictit to be next president, he's 3rd favourite on here and double the odds of Trump

I'd go along with that, that's why I backed him months ago.

I thought he would have shortened in price after the recent elections. Trump's picks have had a mixed bag and even those that won have only averaged around 34% of the vote so even though Trump still has the Republican party by the balls maybe his influence is waning a little with the more centrist voters.

As well as all that De Santis is more electable than anyone else in the market imo. He's about 500 years younger than Biden and infinitely more electable than Harris. Would be a great watch if he and Trump both went for the Republican nomination. And don't be surprised if Hillary makes a run for the Dem nomination. She'd probably get it too!

Yeah Trump has had a shocker, states that moved right like Ohio are still listening to him but Georgia on Tuesday was a bloodbath for him.

Trump is polling better than Biden currently, DeSantis is not but I would suspect that's due to name recognition as DeSantis is a far better candidate (I still think there are much better Republicans out there) but if Biden or Harris were to run in 24 DeSantis would win handily.

Also, if Trump keeps banging on about 2020 he could lose the GOP the senate again!

He lost it in 2020 when the Georgia run-off voters were turned off by him and he could cost them again if he keeps going on about how it was stolen and endorsing bad candidates that agree with him

I don't think he's ever going to stop banging on about 2020! :)

Desantis is very pro guns and has promised to change Florida state law to allow citizens to carry firearms without the need for a concealed carry permit.

Yeah which is another reason why he'll probably get the nomination ahead of Trump
