She is believed to work behind the scenes to improve her husband’s image, and to be his closest confidant and advisor.
Casey made public her battle with breast cancer last year. After treatment and surgery, she was declared free from cancer.
“If you want to know who Ron DeSantis really is, when I was diagnosed with cancer and I was facing the battle for my life, he was the dad who took care of my children when I couldn’t,”In a recent campaign advertisement, she stated. “He was there to pick me off of the ground when I literally could not stand. He was there to fight for me when I didn’t have the strength to fight for myself.”
The couple’s three young children—2-year-old Mamie DeSantis, the family comedian, 4-year-old Mason, a budding athlete, and 5-year-old Madison—are also lending to their image as a Republican golden family, even drawing comparisons to the Kennedys of Camelot.
Should DeSantis run for the presidency, DeSantis would place his family at the center of attention.
