Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Tuesday dismissed the hypothetical and highly unlikely, given the growing animosity idea of serving as former President Donald Trump s running mate in the 2024 election.

I dont think so. Im not a No. 2 guy, Republican presidential candidate DeSantis, who is currently about 30 percentage points behind front-runner Trump in the polls, said on the Wisconsin Right Now radio show, NBC News reported .

DeSantis said that if he didnt become the GOP nominee, hed rather remain governor of the Sunshine State.

The vice presidency doesnt really have any authority, he argued.
