## Summary

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis denied a report that he is preparing to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, accusing The Washington Post of inventing claims that he had contacted political consultants. The report highlights speculation about his political future after his 2024 campaign ended, but DeSantis said he had approached nobody about running for office.

The newspaper cited three people briefed on his plans and said he had contacted at least one national consultant about a possible campaign; it also reported that a DeSantis-linked federal super PAC had sent a fundraising text. DeSantis is term-limited after 2026 and is due to leave office in January. The report comes after Republicans suffered broad midterm losses, while Florida remained a Republican stronghold.
