DeSantis doesn’t have a background in business, and doesn’t seem to have much sympathy for businessmen. His battles against “woke capital” have played a larger role in his campaigns than business tax cuts and deregulation. He’s clearly not a budget cutter. As president, would he be a national conservative?
Possibly, but I wouldn’t bet on it. DeSantis is going to be begging for support from the GOP establishment in a battle against Trump. He could get it, but only if he falls into line on regressive tax cuts and deregulation. I think he will find that a price worth paying.
