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 and getting an affirmative response.
In addition to DeSantis, 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.
The tycoon's campaign raised only 8.8 million dollars in January, compared to 42 for that of his rival Joe Biden.
They reveal the financial declarations to the federal electoral commission.
Trump had 30 million in cash at the end of last month, 3 million less than in December, while the US president can count on 130 million.
From this point of view, therefore, the dem leader outclasses his opponent.
