I'd phrase it slightly differently - DeSantis' assignment was to be the best placed to beat or replace Trump should an event exogenous to internal Republican Party dynamics weaken Trump sufficiently (other than a health event, I'm not sure what that could be - Trump could probably shoot Tucker Carlson or MTG on 5th Ave and his base would OK with it : shooting a Dem would be nothing; *maybe* some sort of smoking gun involving China could seriously damage Trump, although I doubt it).

Otherwise it was always an impossible task.
