Casey DeSantis Fuels Speculation About Potential Florida Governor Bid

The Florida first lady's ambiguous remarks and her husband's praise have intensified discussions about her possible 2026 gubernatorial run.

Casey DeSantis, wife of term-limited Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, avoided directly answering questions about a 2026 gubernatorial run during a Miami press conference.
Her comments, including a Yogi Berra quote, and her husband's subsequent remarks have led to speculation about her potential candidacy.
Governor DeSantis highlighted his wife's conservative values and her impactful work in behavioral health, substance abuse, and child welfare initiatives like Hope Florida.
If she enters the race, it could create a proxy battle between the DeSantis and Trump factions, as former President Trump has endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds for the position.
The press conference also focused on cancer research funding, a cause championed by Casey DeSantis, who is a breast cancer survivor.
