Tensions are escalating.
In an unexpected turn of events, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is now warning Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to not run against her close ally former President Donald Trump in 2024.
Palin went on to say that while she does not want DeSantis to run in 2024, she would support him in any future elections after that.
According to Fox, Palin explained, “DeSantis doesn’t need to [run]. I envision him as our president someday but not right now. He should stay governor for a bit longer. He’s young, you know. He has decades ahead of him where he can be our president.”
Palin went on to say that Donald Trump has the best chance to win the upcoming presidential election.
The former Alaska Governor added, “When you talk about the specific people, the individual people who are looking at putting their hat in the ring… they got a lot of guts thinking they’re gonna go up against Trump.”
Palin even said who she thinks Trump should pick as his 2024 running mate as well saying, “Trump needs to choose somebody who, like him, has nothing to lose. What more can they do to that person personally or verbal attacks or anything else on family? That person has been through the wringer, so they know what they’re getting into. And that person then can just focus on doing what’s right for the people.”
It’s important to remember that Sarah Palin ran as Republican John McCain’s 2008 running mate however Palin and McCain ultimately lost to former President Barack Obama and then-Vice President Joe Biden.
