How DeSantis plays

DeSantis rewards discipline — a well-funded, well-targeted campaign that picks its states and wins them cleanly rather than chasing every headline. Play the calendar efficiently and the delegate math works in your favor; overextend and a stronger-momentum rival can pass you before the map turns your way.

Scenarios where DeSantis appears

• 2024 — the main challenger to Donald Trump for the nomination.
• 2028 — a new-generation Republican field against JD Vance and Marco Rubio.

What you'll manage

A finite budget across the primary calendar, state targeting, debate answers that move voter blocs, and a bench of advisors who won't always agree. Contests are decided on plurality — the most votes wins the state.
