‘In a heartbeat’: Analysis explains why Florida Dems believe DeSantis might take the Trump route and attempt a coup
.
A new analysis is exploring Florida Democratic lawmakers’ concerns about the possibility of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) taking the Trumpian approach in the event he loses the upcoming gubernatorial election.
In a new piece published by HuffPost, S.V. Date posed the question of whether or not the Republican lawmaker would attempt a coup in order to remain in power. “Florida Dems have been watching for four years and have their answer: Yes, in a heartbeat,” he wrote.
Since there is a strong possibility DeSantis will win a second term, Date notes that Democrats are concerned about how he’s slowly devolving into a “more focused, more capable, more ruthless version of the former president.” According to Date, that alone suggests that he would, “without a doubt,” do whatever he’d need to in order to maintain power.
