Casey DeSantis Signals Possible Run for Florida Governor in 2026

Florida’s first lady, Casey DeSantis, may be preparing to take the reins after her husband’s final term as governor ends in 2026. Speaking candidly at the National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit, DeSantis hinted she’s considering a bid to keep Florida firmly in conservative hands and to safeguard the successes Ron DeSantis has achieved.

Referring to her husband as the “GOAT” Greatest Of All Time Casey DeSantis praised his unwavering leadership and commitment to the principles that have turned Florida into a stronghold of freedom and prosperity.

“Florida’s the free state of Florida because you’ve got the GOAT in the governor’s office because of one key thing: Having a backbone,” she said. “When you have the opportunity to stand up for what’s right, you’re courageous and you put yourself into the arena, and you fight like heck.”

DeSantis didn’t shy away from criticizing career politicians who chase titles and cocktail parties rather than real solutions, underscoring a point conservatives know too well: the swamp is filled with self-serving politicians who lack the conviction to stand up when it matters.

She stressed that many political victories can be easily reversed if weak or establishment candidates regain control, hinting that the fight doesn’t end when Ron DeSantis leaves office. “We’ll see,” she concluded when asked directly about her potential candidacy.

Key points to note:

• Florida now boasts 1.2 million more registered Republicans than Democrats, thanks to policies under Ron DeSantis’ leadership.

• Ron DeSantis’ approval rating among Republicans remains sky-high, signaling strong grassroots support for anyone carrying his torch.

• Florida’s economy ranks #1 in the nation for fiscal stability and economic freedom, further reinforcing the success of the DeSantis agenda.

The prospect of Casey DeSantis stepping into the political arena should be welcome news to conservatives nationwide. In an era where leftist overreach threatens even the reddest states, Florida’s bold leadership must continue beyond 2026. DeSantis has witnessed firsthand how easily victories can be undone when political courage is lacking.

For conservatives, her potential bid is not just about Florida’s future it’s about preserving a blueprint for success that the rest of the country desperately needs.
