As top-tier presidential candidates go, Ron DeSantis is something of a rarity these days.
He was born after the Vietnam War, he came of age when computers were common in American homes and he still has young children of his own, rather than enough grandchildren to fill a basketball team.
Mr. DeSantis would be 46 on Inauguration Day if elected, younger than every president since John F. Kennedy.
It’s a fact he doesn’t state explicitly, but his campaign has set out to make sure voters get it.
He and his wife, Casey DeSantis, often speak about their young children, who are 6, 5 and 3 and have joined their parents on the campaign trail.
