Because they are a party of uncontrollable attention seeking morons, they will have double digit people running for POTUS. So, while his "base" might be shrinking a bit, even if it is 30-40% or so, all the other candidates will wash out the other 60-70%.

Put another way.

Most of his 30 to 40% is HIS.

DeSantis' 40% or so is a lot softer, for every other candidate that comes in there he is going to lose some to that particlarly candidate.
