In an NBC News interview that aired in part Monday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said former president Donald Trump clearly lost the 2020 election, escalating his pushback in recent days against Trump’s baseless claims that the election was stolen from him.
Representatives for the DeSantis campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday.“Ron DeSantis should really stop being Joe Biden’s biggest cheerleader, it’s very unbecoming of him,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement Monday.On Friday, one day after Trump was, DeSantis said the claims that Trump and his allies pushed about a stolen election were false.
At another stop in Iowa on Saturday, DeSantis ducked a question about whether, like former vice president Mike Pence, he would have rejected Trump’s call to overturn the election results. Trump has turned much of his base against Pence for taking that stand. DeSantis has also gone further than usual in criticizing Trump in recent days. At a New Hampshire town hall with WMUR that aired Friday, he blasted Trump’s often-crude and personal insults as “phony” and “juvenile.”
At a town hall in New Hampshire in June, DeSantis ducked a question on whether Trump “violated the peaceful transfer of power,” even as he showed a new willingness to criticize the former president on other fronts.
