“ Casey would say, ‘We have to get him on Mark Levin and Hannity once a week,’” an unnamed DeSantis aide told the paper. The Times story also reported that DeSantis began upping his Fox appearances in 2020 at the advice of his wife. As reported in an extensive New York Times Magazine profile Tuesday, one Fox producer even told DeSantis’s aides that the far-right governor could host his own show. On Fox News, DeSantis has become a favorite guest, appearing regularly on Fox & Friends, as well as on Sean Hannity’s and Dan Bongino’s shows, to attack COVID lockdowns, cancel culture, and abortion-rights protesters, whom he has likened to January 6 rioters. From traditional organs like the New York Post and the National Review to Alex Jones and other insurgent far-right darlings, just about every corner of the conservative media ecosystem has played a part in his meteoric rise. As part of this effort, the notoriously pugnacious governor has managed to walk a tightrope among right-wing media that few Republicans can. Over the past two years, Governor Ron DeSantis has embarked on a public relations speed run aimed at boosting his national profile ahead of 2024, embracing red meat social policies and making inroads with conservative power brokers of every stripe.
