Two big takeaways emerged from the US midterms. The first was that the Democrats were not obliterated by a Republican “red wave”. The second was the effective crowning of Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, as the unofficial new leader of the GOP and its likely candidate for the 2024 Presidential election.
DeSantis, who has been Governor since 2019, is – like President Joe Biden – a Catholic. He would likely be a very different kind of Catholic leader if he emerges as the next President of the United States.
