DeSantis Event Speaker Hails Him As Next President

Florida Politics reports:

Gov. Ron DeSantis went to Cape Coral for a policy press conference Friday, but Florida Channel viewers were treated to some speculation about his future political possibilities as well.

The Governor introduced a speaker at the event, who kicked off his remarks with a seemingly off-script prediction about the race for the presidency. “The man standing behind me is not only the greatest Governor on the planet,” said the speaker, Robert Pizzolongo.

“Mark 2025 on your calendar when he becomes the President,” he added. “Everyone wants to talk about me in Florida,” DeSantis crowed, sounding very much yet again like a national figure. “Like, I’m just sitting here, little ol’ me, doing my job!”
