Ron DeSantis is also among Donald Trump's six possible deputies in the race for the White House. The tycoon said this in a debate on Fox News, when anchor Laura Ingraham listed six names, asking him if they were all on his shortlist.
They include African-American senator Tim Scott, tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida congressman Byron Donalds, South Dakota governor Kristi Noem and former Hawaii dem congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. It is not known to what extent this is a tactical response on Trump's part.
