Great points. The DeWine family has been in the sewers of OH politics for a long time. A slick talker like Vivek could easily beat DeWine, even though he's a RINO too. But the power brokers are happy with DeWine where he is and DeWine could never make a dent on the national stage. He's weak like the mailman (Kasich). Therefore, its Vivek they thrust to the national stage.
This is definitely a carrot approach to try and separate MAGA from DJT.

Plus I'm pretty sure Ohio GOP will come out for DeSantis. My Congressman hasn't even whispered Trump's name since the indictment. RINOhio lives.
DeSantis is falling like a rock - They will go with whatever plant is next in line
