Ben Shapiro says Ron DeSantis “is going to run” in 2028 and that you should “absolutely short sell Rubio. Marco is not gonna run.”
He walks through the math live, with Kalshi’s numbers on screen.
SHAPIRO: “Governor DeSantis in Florida who already ran once, if he waits another four years, then he’s not really relevant. So Ron is going to run.”
SHAPIRO: “We have the [Kalshi] numbers here, saying that JD is the favorite at 30%, Rubio at 23% and [DeSantis] 12. You should absolutely short sell Rubio. Marco is not gonna run.”
SHAPIRO: “Number one, 2028 is likely a poison chalice. Number two, if he runs against JD and he loses to JD, he’s toast. […] So if you’re Rubio, every math ends with, I’m not gonna run.”
CONTEXT: The latest Kalshi odds put JD at 27%, Rubio at 25%, and DeSantis at 19%. DeSantis is up 7 POINTS since last night.
