Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) said he would not join former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid if he were to lose his own 2024 campaign, according to remarks he gave during a podcast on Tuesday.

“I don’t think I’m a No. 2 guy. I think I’m a leader, governor of Florida. I’ve accomplished a lot,” Mr. DeSantis said during the Wisconsin Right Now podcast. “I think I could do more staying there than being VP, which doesn’t really have any authority.”
