Gov. Ron DeSantis has criticized former President Donald Trump for attacking him even before they were competing against each other in 2024, saying Trump did so because he cared"more about himself."
DeSantis and Trump are both running for president in the Republican Party's 2024 primary race, with the former president regularly criticizing DeSantis in social media posts, referring to the Florida governor as "DeSanctimonious" three days before the 2022 Florida gubernatorial election. The Florida governor acknowledged that Trump's actions were a part of politics but said Trump was wrong to"not saddle up and be a team player" ahead of the midterm elections.
DeSantis went on to say that Trump had"no reason" to take"potshots" at him or at Florida itself, citing how Trump has made statements saying Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo governed their states better. DeSantis said that while Trump was free to make these statements, such statements were also"false."
Florida's governor also responded to claims some have made that his presidential campaign was disloyal to Trump, as the former president endorsed DeSantis in the 2018 gubernatorial election. DeSantis disagreed with this assessment, stating that"the country is more important” than loyalty to Trump.
President Joe Biden is running for reelection in 2024, setting up a potential rematch between him and Trump — if Trump is the Republican nominee. Robert Kennedy Jr., another 2024 presidential candidate, initially ran as a Democrat but became an independent candidate on Oct. 9.
