Two unnamed sources familiar with the governor indicated that he intends to run for president, the newspaper reported. Ron DeSantis has indicated privately that he intends to run for president, according to two people familiar with his comments. "He's doing all the steps that would tell us that he's going to run for president." A former White House official who helped implement Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies launched a PAC Thursday urging DeSantis to run. When asked to pick between just DeSantis and Trump, the governor's lead went up from 25 to 31 points.
