Trump still has a good shot of winning primaries even if he is in prison. It would probably motivate his supporters even more.
The problem is his cult is still at least 50% of voters who vote in Republican primaries.
Looking at the current Foxnews home page, it has Desantis as the top story and Trump's announcement in a little box with a less than enthusiastic headline about his announcement. Even if Trump has lost Fox News, that just moves all his supporters to OAN or Newsmax though.
Desantis will run. The only shot he probably has is if he is the single challenger pretty quickly in. If it is Desantis, Pence, Youngkin and Hogan for a while, then Trump gets some easy primary wins and probably has too big a lead to overcome as others drop out.
