You’re not talking to enough Americans if you don’t think that isn’t a positive for them. Everyone said things like this in 2016 about Trump winning Presidency (I’m not talking about popular, I’m talking about electoral). There is zero reason for DeSantis to have dropped out so early. He just came in second in Iowa. While everyone said he lost coming in second with 21% was an incredibly strong showing. He dropped out for a reason this quickly.

But Trump got like more than two times his votes. I don't think you can contend with each party choosing one candidate.
