The dude made a massive flameout that was visible for all to see. Weird. He is weird.
Pure guy listened to people suggesting he could out trump trump.
We are in the fourth and final act of DeSantis' tenure as governor, where he faces the real possibility he'll be little more than an afterthought

Sure, Desantis made his pilgrimage to Milwaukee to atone for his sins and pledge fealty, but there was no absolution awaiting the prodigal son, no unconditional love forthcoming from MAGA's jealous god. Vance was the ultimate DeSantis snub, an unmistakable sign Trump will remember DeSantis' treachery for the rest of his days. Vance and DeSantis, born to modest means and products of elite academia, aren't so different, save for Vance's relative youth; he even aped DeSantis' original calling card — weirdness. Trump knew exactly how to torment his little quisling in the governor's mansion.
These days, with no golden ring to chase, DeSantis seems unfocused, languid, adrift — searching for some sort of meaning. His news conferences have become even more ponderous than usual. In one recent appearance, DeSantis puzzled over how much weed is in a joint. "I think it’s up to like, what, 40 joints, is that the 3 ounces would be 40? More than that, 80 joints. Something like that," DeSantis told a group of sheriffs.
