Gov. Ron DeSantis' second and final term ends in January.
But he hasn't ruled out trying for another term — for president.
"We'll see," he said Tuesday on the podcast.
DeSantis ran for president in 2024 but to overcoming President Donald Trump's commanding lead.
by about 30 percentage points in Iowa, the first GOP presidential primary state. DeSantis dropped out a couple days before the New Hampshire primary.
But Trump's on his own second and final term.
Right now, the most popular picks for the 2028 Republican nominee are Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
But there's more than two years to go until the election. DeSantis indicated he might see an opening in the 2028 presidential race.
"In Iowa, the people who voted for Trump, if he wasn't running, I would have gotten like 90% of those people," he said. "They wanted me. But the timing obviously didn't work out for that. So you've just got to see what happens."
