Univision’s look at the field after the midterms says Democrats won ground that had favored Republicans, but they still have no agreed leader for 2028. Political scientist Eduardo Gamarra of Florida International University told the network the result was a sharp rebuke of Republicans, including in Florida, and that contenders close to Donald Trump will have to show a different profile.
On the Republican side the piece focuses on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance and outgoing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Rubio denied that he would resign to prepare a campaign. Gamarra argued that Vance is closely tied to Trump’s record. DeSantis, who is leaving office as Byron Donalds becomes governor, has lately criticized the administration.
