I certainly think DeWine and Sununu would be stronger general election candidates than DeSantis. They show how hazardous it is for Democrats when Republicans actually try hard not to be off-putting to the center. Fortunately for Biden, DeWine won’t run for president and Sununu can’t win the nomination.

This is true. And I guess it's lucky for the Democrats that the Republican party is in such a state that one can't envision them putting forth a moderate centrist candidate. (And think how hard it would be for DeSantis to "pivot to the center" after 18 months of running hard to Trump's right.)
But it would still be a nail-biter of a race no matter who they put up. The Republicans could run Abraham Lincoln and probably not win by more than a percentage point. Same with the Democrats running George Washington crossed with FDR. Just the state of our politics these days.
