Recent polls have suggested that Casey DeSantis would be strongly favored in a hypothetical Republican primary for governor.
think one who looks at the role with a lot of humility,' Casey said. 'It isn't about me. It is about being in a position to be able to do good on behalf of the people of this state and hopefully of this country.' Recent polls have suggested that DeSantis would be a favored Republican candidate for governor were she to enter the race to succeed her husband.
poll released in April by Florida Atlantic University and Mainstreet Research showed 38% of Florida Republicans surveyed would support the first lady in a head-to-head matchup with Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., a firebrand House conservative. Another University of North Florida Public Opinion Lab survey from November 2023 showed Casey DeSantis with 22% support in a crowded field of potential GOP candidates.
