Ron DeSantis is ramping up his national profile as he quietly lays the groundwork for a potential 2028 presidential run, traveling across the country to sharpen his message, build alliances and move past his bruising 2024 loss to President Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The term-limited governor, 47, kicked off the week at the Milken Institute\u2019s global conference in Beverly Hills and is set to headline the New York Republican Party\u2019s annual gala May 19 at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan \u2014 high-profile appearances that signal growing national ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m in my mid-40s. [20]28, you know, maybe beyond that, I think that there\u2019s a lot of runway,\u201d DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/05\/05\/us-news\/ron-desantis-making-moves-for-2028-white-house-bid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> Monday when asked about another White House bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho knows? Like, you never know,\u201d he added during a moderated discussion with <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/05\/05\/us-news\/ron-desantis-making-moves-for-2028-white-house-bid\/\">The New York Post<\/a>\u2019s Charles Gasparino \u2014 before pivoting into what sounded like a campaign-style pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho took a state that had more Democrats than Republicans by 300,000 when he got elected [in 2018], and now has 1.5 million more Republicans?\u201d DeSantis said, pointing to his own record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWho had a state that had a trillion-dollar economy and now has $1.8 trillion? Who has a state that had some school choice, now universal? A 50-year low in the crime rate? So we\u2019ve got a good story to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind the scenes, Republican insiders say DeSantis\u2019 intentions are hardly a secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not been a secret he\u2019s running,\u201d one GOP insider told The Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI think DeSantis totally thinks he can win,\u201d added a Florida-based operative. \u201cHe\u2019d be top two in Iowa for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the path forward is complicated. While Trump himself appears to have cooled tensions following their bitter 2024 primary clash \u2014 in which DeSantis dropped out after a distant second-place finish in Iowa \u2014 some of Trump\u2019s allies are eager for a rematch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cTeam Trump is chomping at the bit to destroy DeSantis one more time,\u201d a longtime Trump operative said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Once viewed as the GOP\u2019s rising star capable of channeling Trump-era populism into a more disciplined conservative agenda, DeSantis has spent the past year repairing ties with the president. He is even seen as a possible cabinet contender when his gubernatorial term ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHis lane is: most competent and effective governor in our nation\u2019s history who consistently delivers on every promise he makes,\u201d said Carly Bird, DeSantis\u2019 former national spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another GOP operative agreed that the governor retains a strong appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cA lot of people like DeSantis,\u201d the operative said. \u201cThis is a guy that I believe sees there\u2019s a window to run for president \u2014 you don\u2019t know how long it stays open, and once it\u2019s closed, that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent months, DeSantis has taken steps widely viewed as olive branches to Trump. He signed legislation renaming West Palm Beach\u2019s airport in Trump\u2019s honor and helped facilitate plans for Trump\u2019s presidential library in Miami. The two have also been seen golfing together, projecting a more cordial relationship after the president\u2019s 2024 attacks, which included nicknames like \u201cDeSanctimonious\u201d and \u201cMeatball Ron.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of DeSantis\u2019 most significant recent moves came Monday, when he approved a redrawing of Florida\u2019s congressional map expected to net Republicans four additional House seats \u2014 a shift that could offset anticipated GOP losses elsewhere and help protect the party\u2019s majority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Signed, Sealed, and Delivered. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mKFQdQ2Xbo\">pic.twitter.com\/mKFQdQ2Xbo<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/2051332545841660356?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 4, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the thaw at the top, skepticism lingers among Trump loyalists, and the 2028 field is already taking shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polling and party chatter suggest Vice President JD Vance is currently well-positioned, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio is gaining traction among key GOP circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cYou hear a lot more about Rubio. Rubio is the guy,\u201d the Florida operative said. \u201cVance has his pockets, but overwhelmingly Rubio is the guy among most people \u2026 even, say, in Palm Beach.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Others see the race as wide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s JD\u2019s race to lose right now,\u201d said a former DeSantis staffer. \u201cThat said, there\u2019s a million new cycles between now and a primary \u2014 anything can happen with a coalition that\u2019s showing cracks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That same former aide emphasized DeSantis\u2019 governing record but questioned whether his political operation has adapted since 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDeSantis is by far the most effective, results-driven conservative executive in recent memory, but it remains to be seen if his team learned the right lessons from the [2024] campaign,\u201d the aide said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe country would be better off in every way should he stay on the national stage. The moves he makes in the coming months should be very revealing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 biography remains a core part of his political identity. The son of a TV ratings box installer, he played baseball at Yale and later graduated from Harvard Law School. He served in the Navy, including a deployment to Iraq, before entering politics and winning a House seat in 2012. He narrowly captured the Florida governorship in 2018 and secured a landslide reelection victory in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet questions about his political style persist. Critics \u2014 particularly within Trump\u2019s orbit \u2014 continue to point to his perceived awkwardness and past clashes with the former president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo matter how many influencers he pays off, Ron will never be the heir to the MAGA movement,\u201d one Trump-aligned operative said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another former Trump White House official was even more blunt, calling DeSantis \u201cas authentic as a strip mall Santa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump himself, however, has struck a more measured tone, recently saying he would consider DeSantis for a cabinet role because \u201cI think he\u2019s good \u2014 doing a good job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, most observers expect DeSantis to remain outside the administration and focus instead on positioning himself for another national campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether that effort succeeds may depend on how effectively he balances his record as a conservative governor with the shifting dynamics of a Republican Party still heavily influenced by Trump \u2014 and increasingly crowded with ambitious contenders eyeing 2028.<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/05\/05\/us-news\/ron-desantis-making-moves-for-2028-white-house-bid\/#\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.winred.com\/nrcc\/35x-impact\/?source_code=db-nrcc-em322-014&#038;amtposition=3&#038;recurring=true&#038;ex_tid=20260217_WA-TD.119110_t1822309-3736\">URGENT MISSION: 35 brave House GOP members are in JEOPARDY!
