Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is keeping open the possibility of pursuing the presidency in 2028 as he approaches the end of his second term, according to a Politico report.

The report indicates that DeSantis, whose tenure concludes in January 2027 due to term limits, has not ruled out another national campaign, leaving multiple paths under consideration as he prepares to exit the governor’s office.

At the same time, President Donald Trump has privately evaluated the possibility of bringing DeSantis into a future administration in a Cabinet-level position, as part of ongoing conversations about staffing and political alignment following upcoming elections.

The dual track reflects continued positioning within the Republican Party, where DeSantis remains a prominent figure despite earlier presidential ambitions. His next step could involve either reentering a national campaign or aligning more directly with a Trump-led executive branch.

The deliberations highlight broader strategic considerations among party leaders as they look ahead to future election cycles and leadership roles, with DeSantis’ decision expected to influence the party’s direction in the years following his departure from state office.
