In a recent New York Times poll, half of the GOP’s primary voters indicated they’re seeking someone different for the Oval Office in 2024.

What’s more, almost six out of ten Americans indicated they want Trump criminally charged in connection with the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, according to an ABC News poll.

Huckabee Sanders is the second big name in recent weeks to have walked away from their support of Trump to back DeSantis, an early front-runner for the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination.

On June 29, podcast host Joe Rogan joined Elon Musk in supporting DeSantis for 2024.

“I think Ron DeSantis would work as a good president,” Rogan said on The Joe Rogan Experience. “I mean, what he’s done for Florida has been admirable.”

The controversial podcast host, who boasts an estimated 11 million listeners, continued, “You know, he is not perfect. He’s a human being, but, um, what he’s done is stand up for freedoms."

DeSantis has yet to formally declare his intent to run for president in 2024.
