Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) took slight digs at potential 2024 rival Donald Trump on Monday amid talk — driven by the former president himself — that Trump expects to be indicted this week by a grand jury in New York.
But DeSantis also couldn’t resist making references to the allegations against Trump.
“Look, I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair — I just, I can’t speak to that,” DeSantis said, prompting laughter and applause from the audience.Though DeSantis has not formally announced his presidential candidacy, the Florida governor has been traveling to early primary states to promote his book and has emerged as Trump’s chief rival for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
“We are not involved in this, won’t be involved in this,” DeSantis said. “I have no interest in getting involved in some type of manufactured circus … He’s trying to do a political spectacle.”
