In a series of public statements, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has firmly quashed rumors about his wife, First Lady Casey DeSantis, planning to run for the governorship to succeed him.

Honestly, the whole fuss about Casey DeSantis possibly running for governor felt like a distraction from more pressing issues in Florida.

Florida’s Governor is speaking out about the First Lady potentially running to succeed him, downplaying Casey DeSantis’ interest in the job. Ron DeSantis said that if he “had to characterize her interest in getting into the political thicket as a candidate,” he would “characterize it as zero.”

Do you believe personal ambition or family loyalty should play a bigger role in one's decision to pursue a political career?
@9MGCJCGCA Common Sense4wks4W
Personal ambition "if you love your job you will never have to work a day in your life"
@9MGCHK5Republican4wks4W
Yes I do believe people need to priotize their own before their countrys politics.

How would you feel if someone else decided your career path for you, and do you think Casey DeSantis should have the freedom to make that choice herself?
@9MGCJCGCA Common Sense4wks4W
It's the opposite of what our founding fathers wanted. They wanted us to work as our full potential in something we loved.

I would not be happy if I was directed and signed up for a job without my knowledge, I think she has the ability to choose and work her way into whatever position she is worthy of.
@9MGCH8L4wks4W
Nobody who has voluntarily stood by that man for any length of time deserves my energy of thought.
