Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has been huddling with some of the GOP's biggest political donors and leaders to discuss a possible run for president.
last year, Suarez has been privately laying the groundwork for a possible run for the White House. He's recently met with the likes of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and former Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, these people explained.
Suarez could also run for governor of Florida, a person close to the mayor told CNBC. Those who spoke to CNBC declined to be named since these discussions are private. Suarez won his first term as mayor in 2017 with 86% of the vote and was reelected in 2021 with 78% of the vote. If Suarez enters the presidential primary, he follows another popular mayor who made a longshot run for the White House.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was first elected the mayor of South Bend, Indiana with 74% of the vote in 2011. He won reelection in 2015 with more than 80% of the vote before stepping down and launching his presidential campaign and losing to President Joe Biden in the 2020 Democratic primary.
If Suarez jumped into the 2024 Republican primary for president, polls suggest he would be a major underdog contender while possibly facing a familiar face: Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. A Fox News poll taken in February shows Suarez with no support among participants when asked who they'd like to see as the Republican presidential nominee.
