Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is preparing to launch a presidential campaign in 2028, with plans to seek the Republican Party's nomination. This potential bid is expected to be built around Florida's performance in recent elections, where it largely withstood a Democratic sweep. DeSantis has reportedly begun making preliminary moves, including reaching out to at least one national political consultant and initiating fundraising activities through his federal super PAC.
Disagreement on DeSantis's 2024 campaign involvement
The Washington Post reported that Dan Eberhart, a Republican donor and energy executive, served as a surrogate for DeSantis's unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign. Joe.My.God. also reported this detail, quoting Eberhart. No other reports mentioned DeSantis's involvement in the 2024 presidential campaign.
What the coverage left out
None of the left-rated reports mentioned any specific political consultants DeSantis has contacted or provided details about the fundraising text message sent by his super PAC beyond its existence. The right-rated report did not mention DeSantis's outreach to consultants or his super PAC's fundraising activities. No centre-rated outlet covered this story.

How each side covered it
Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.
Left
- Left-rated reports focused on the core details of DeSantis's reported 2028 presidential ambitions. Multiple outlets highlighted that he is preparing to run for the Republican nomination. They noted that his campaign would likely centre on Florida's status as a state that resisted the "Democratic Wave" or "sweeping midterm victory." Reports indicated that DeSantis has already reached out to a national political consultant and that his super PAC has begun fundraising. Mediaite framed the story as the "Race to Replace Trump Officially Starts" as DeSantis "reportedly explores 2028 Run."
