But hasn't Crist burnt out his chances a few elections ago?

little to no infrastructure in Florida and he does know where all the bodies are buried.

As Gov. Ron DeSantis sets his sights on a gubernatorial reelection bid in 2022, an attorney whos been critical of the governor has launched a Remove Ron political committee to raise funds and unseat DeSantis.
Daniel Uhlfelder, known as the grim reaper lawyer because of his attempts to close Florida beaches during the COVID-19 pandemic, is behind the new political committee that alleges failures by DeSantis to curb the virus and other concerns.
The group released a short video on Wednesday to encourage residents to join the Remove Ron movement, saying DeSantis failed Florida and its time to remove Ron.
On its website, the committee alleges a record of failure, including more than 26,000 resident COVID deaths, Floridas troubled unemployment system, blind loyalty to former President Donald Trump, who has been impeached for the second time and a notable disparity between vaccine access for white communities compared to communities of color.

As previously reported by the Florida Phoenix, DeSantis said in a Fox News interview in January that hes confident about becoming the governor nominee in 2022.
