I spent the January 6 anniversary near Trump's Mar-a-Lago and Ron DeSantis' name kept coming up for 2024

The caption will look like this.

We watched both town hall events and combined them to imagine what a real Biden-Trump town hall would look like. President Donald Trump denounced white supremacy, but did not know anything about the conspiracy theory known as QAnon. Biden said he gets a "deep test" every day. When asked if he was tested before the last debate, Trump said he didn't know.

President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis were in Sunrise, Fla., on November 26, 2019.

On the anniversary of the attack on the Capitol, about 300 pro-Trump supporters gathered outside Mar-a-Lago.

They wanted Trump to run again.

They picked Ron DeSantis as their second favorite.

I woke up on the morning of the one-year anniversary of the attack on the US Capitol expecting to cover Donald Trump.

I didn't think I'd get an earful about Ron DeSantis. That is what happened.

I woke up that morning to an email from the office of the Republican candidate for governor, Ron DeSantis, that he was holding a press conference in West Palm Beach, not far from where I was going to cover a pro-Trump rally for Insider outside Mar-a-Lago later that day

Two days earlier, Trump canceled a press conference he was going to host at his private club in Palm Beach, but his most fervent supporters were still planning to gather at a rally down the road in a supermarket parking lot.

I relocated from Washington, DC, to South Florida to cover the upcoming elections, including the re- election of Governor Ron DeSantis. I went to the press conference to see if I could ask the Republican governor a few questions.

The press conference was about how Florida was making more at- home COVID-19 tests available to seniors, but the governor took questions on other topics.

The governor of Florida held a press conference in West Palm Beach.

I asked if he wanted to comment on the January 6 anniversary riot, as a former US House member.

DC and New York-based journalists were accused of being obsessed with covering the attack.

"January 6 allows them to create narratives that are negative about people that supported Donald Trump," he said, adding that he wouldn't be watching the coverage and that he thought Florida voters were focused on other issues.

I asked if he planned to talk to Trump, but he didn't answer that part of the question.

I went to Palm Beach to cover the 'Freedom Rally' after the press conference.

The "Freedom Rally" in Palm Beach was attended by Trump supporters.

I spoke to people down the road from Mar-a-Lago. Many of them were in DC on January 6 and all of them said they weren't part of the mob that broke into the Capitol.

I was told earlier in the day that as many as 1,000 people could be at the rally, but by the time the rally ended, I estimated that roughly 300 people showed up. The rally started with a few people.

The Trump supporters waited for the former president.

A Trump supporter is in Palm Beach.

A photographer for the New York Post told me that Trump drove by the rally before it started, but only a few of his supporters actually showed up.

The leader of the group America's First Responders told me that he thought the event was a success. I interviewed about 20 people.

We waited to catch a glimpse of Trump, and I talked to my supporters.

There were many pro-Trump trucks driving by.

The pro-Trump supporters want Trump to run again in 2024.

And if he doesn't? Who would you like to see as the Republican nominee? I asked.

Everyone had the same answer.

T-shirts were for sale at the event.

The pro-Trump rally in Palm Beach had T-shirts for sale.

In my interviews with establishment Republicans and outside groups, I keep hearing that Ron DeSantis is a potential candidate for the White House in 2024.

It was interesting to see that support from some of the most enthusiastic Trump voters.

The artist told me he made hats for Trump and DeSantis.

Maga Jackson is an artist and a Trump supporter.

Maga Jackson told me that he wanted Trump and DeSantis to run together. He gave out hats in his car.

"I would love to meet him," Jackson said.

Some people were in favor of Trump and DeSantis running on the same ticket.

People who drove by supported Trump.

Danny Hamilton, the owner and president of Star Coaches, Inc., which has a pro-Trump design on a bus he had parked in the parking lot, told me he thought a Trump-DeSantis ticket would result in "the biggest blow-out of all time."

Trump voters see similarities and differences.

Edward Manak Leonard is a person.

Edward Manak, an Army veteran, told me that he wanted Trump to run again, but would like to see him become president someday. He said that while Trump could be down and dirty in his interactions, DeSantis is a little cooler.

The interviews suggested that DeSantis could get the enthusiasm of Trump voters.

The shirts are pro-Trump.

Luis Carabetti said he hoped Trump would run for president again.

He wants them to be on that ticket.
