Ron DeSantis
Governor of Florida
state
Still SeatedRon DeSantis is the Governor of Florida and a former congressman who emerged as one of the biggest Republican stars of the post-2020 culture-war era. He built his national brand through fights over education, COVID policy, immigration, and corporate power, while positioning himself as a harder, colder, more disciplined version of Trumpism. Then he tried to turn that into a presidential campaign and discovered that charisma is still a thing, even in a party fueled by grievance. On Yeeted or Seated, DeSantis is the guy who wanted to inherit the circus but kept sounding like he’d rather manage it through a spreadsheet.
