Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told Hugh Hewitt that he has the money, the manpower and the ability to stay in the presidential race until the end of March.

“Oh, yes on that. 100%. We can do it,” DeSantis said on Hewitt's radio show Thursday morning. The governor is back in his home state today before traveling to New Hampshire on Friday and South Carolina over the weekend.

While DeSantis said he is in the race to “win the nomination,” he indicated he would not stay out of vanity.

“I don't want to be vice president, I don't want to be in the cabinet. I don't want a television show. I'm in this to win it, and at some point, you know, if that doesn't work out for you, I recognize that this is not a vanity thing for me, but I do think we have a chance in November. do it very, very well,” DeSantis said.

Commenting on another 2024 rival, DeSantis said, “Nikki Haley can't compete with Donald Trump” in New Hampshire.

“The fact that you can't do it there, you can't do it anywhere. It certainly won’t in South Carolina,” she said.
