"DeSanctimonious," "disloyal" and an "average" governor are just some of the labels former President Donald Trump has used to attack Florida Gov.
The Gov.-elect of Florida sat next to the President at the White House. The photo was taken by Mark Wilson.
There should have been a response to the question of how he feels about the media attention Trump has received since he announced his candidacy for president.
The governor refused to say Trump's name when asked to respond to the ex-president's criticism hours before he announced his presidential run.
On November 16, he said people "just need to chill out" about hyping up a possible rivalry between the two because of Trump's criticisms.
Trump is the only major Republican candidate who has yet to announce a campaign for the White House in 20 years.
Since announcing his presidential run, Trump has toned down his attacks on the congressman, after many Republicans said his comments were out of line.
After Trump called DeSantis "DeSanctimonious" at a November 5 rally, he doubled down, issuing a threat on November 10 to reveal information about the governor that would not be very flattering.
"No Republican governor has gotten a higher percentage of the vote in Florida history than we did in 2022," said the governor.
When Trump endorsed DeSantis for governor, it appeared to propel him to victory in a competitive Republican primary contest. Trump has said that he owes his loyalty to him because he was "politically dead" before the time when he endorsed him. According to reports, many Republican donors are ready to move on from Trump in four years because he is not a good fit for the party. The future leader of the GOP is a man who graduated from Yale and Harvard and served in the U.S. Navy. It was important for Republicans to win over Hispanics and women because of their strong performance.
According to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average, Trump still holds a 21-percentage-point lead over his opponent, but the gap has narrowed considerably. According to several polls, Trump was leading the Republican field.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and Rep. Liz Cheney are among the Republicans who are considering running for president in the next decade. According to Real ClearPolitics, Trump has 48.8% of the vote. The next person with less than 8% support is Vice President Mike Pence.
