As a flori-duh resident for over thirty years now I'm starting to hear talk of DeSantis changing his name for his presidential run.

Name changing for an election isn't new. Remember Robert "Beto" O'Rourke? To pander the Latino vote.

he had been called Beto since he was a little boy. It was his family's nickname for him. Where do you get your information....or rather disinformation?

Rather a convenient time, last minute, for a Presidential run.

He has been called Beto since infancy.....pretty sure at that point he wasn't thinking of running for the Presidency. BTW Has Cruz ...nickname Ted...ever officially denounced his Canadian citizenship?
"Robert Francis O'Rourke was born on September 26, 1972, at Hotel Dieu Hospital in El Paso, Texas, to Pat Francis O'Rourke and Melissa Martha O'Rourke (née Williams).[8][9] He is a fourth-generation Irish American.[14] In his infancy, his family gave him the nickname "Beto", a common Spanish-Portuguese nickname for first names ending in "-berto", initially to distinguish him from his namesake grandfather."
