Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who will officially announce his 2024 presidential run on Twitter on May 24, is envisaging the establishment of a 7–2 conservative supermajority “that would last a quarter-century” on the U.S. Supreme Court.

“I think if you look over the next two presidential terms, there is a good chance that you could be called upon to seek replacements for Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito,” DeSantis said in a speech at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention held in Orlando, Florida, on May 22.
