DJT still holds enormous sway and practically all of his primary endorsements performed incredibly well last week, although a good handful were actually funded by the DNC. The political acumen and calculus of DeSantis is on an entirely different tier and he would be far more effective on decoupling from China beyond all the bluster, rhetoric and inconsistent half measures. I also have strong doubts Ron would ever repeatedly, publicly refer to Xi Jinping as his friend or jump in to save Chinese companies forced to shut down on account of the export controls his own Admin implemented while citing "too many jobs in China lost" like what happened with ZTE.
