Gov DeSantis new book has already outsold books by Trump, Obama and Hillary in their first week

Governor DeSantis apparently has a blockbuster on his hands.

According to a report by Business Insider, his book sales in the first week have already eclipsed book sales by Trump, Obama and Hillary in their first weeks.

Here’s the report:

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ first memoir has outsold books by Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama during its first week of sales.

“The Courage to Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Survival,” sold 94,300 copies in its first week, according to NPD BookScan, which tracks retail sales of US print books. The numbers go up to March 4 and include pre-orders but not e-books that people download onto their Kindles or other electronic devices.

Clinton’s memoir “Hard Choices,” about her time working in the Obama administration before mounting her 2016 presidential run, sold 86,200 copies in its first week, according to BookScan. Former President Barack Obama’s book “The Audacity of Hope,” as the then-Illinois US Senator became a rising star in the Democratic Party, sold 67,500 copies in its first week of sales, according to BookScan.

Trump’s 2015 campaign book “Crippled America” sold 27,687 copies in its first week, BookScan shows. At the time, the real estate mogul and reality TV star was launching a bid for the White House that many political insiders saw as a long shot.

These very high sales would seem to tell DeSantis that people really want him to run for president. I mean, that is kinda implied in the book title.

If he’s still wondering what people think, I believe this is a good indicator for him in his decision making process.

On the flip side I fully expect Trump to say something pointed about this soon. After all, we all know how he feels about ratings and DeSantis.
