Ron DeSantis' wife, Casey DeSantis, is considering a Florida gubernatorial campaign after her husband terms out, according to a new report

Florida first lady Casey DeSantis is considering running to succeed her husband as the Sunshine State’s governor next year, sources told The Post on Friday. Republican donors are pushing Casey to run in 2026 because her husband, current Gov. Ron DeSantis, cannot seek a third four-year term.

First lady Casey DeSantis is mulling a run for Florida governor in 2026, NBC News reported Thursday evening. The network cited five people “directly familiar” with her thought process.
