DeSantis Breaks Silence on Trump Attacks

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said former President Donald Trump’s constant criticism of him is telling.

It could suggest Trump “knows” DeSantis could win the GOP nomination in 2024, the governor said in an interview with “Good Morning New Hampshire” radio host Jack Heath on May 25.

“I think a lot of what he’s doing is showing everybody that he understands that I’ve got a good chance to beat him because he doesn’t criticize anybody else now,” DeSantis said. “It is only me.”

“They wouldn’t do that if they didn’t think that I had a chance, because I think they realize I am offering folks a record of achievement that’s second to none,” DeSantis added. “They know that I’m more likely to win the election.”

The governor’s remarks came one day after he entered the 2024 race, launching his bid for the White House on Twitter.

DeSantis then dismissed Trump’s claims that his governorship has not been a success.
