DeSantis is telling donors that there are only two people who can win the 2024 election: “Biden and me.”
“You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing: Biden, Trump, and me,” the Florida governor said,. “And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president — Biden and me, based on all the data in the swing states, which is not great for the former president and probably insurmountable because people aren’t going to change their view of him.”
It’s long been apparent DeSantis intends to vie for the Republican nomination, and he has already secured multiple congressional endorsements. Trump, who declared his candidacy late last year, has far more of them, though,. Trump is also crushing DeSantis in most polls, something the former president has long been crowing about on Truth Social while repeatedly bashing his most formidable Republican opponent.
DeSantis has been hesitant to go after the former president. He got a few jabs in on Thursday, though. “You know, Trump was somebody, we liked his policies but we didn’t like his values,” he said, quoting a voter he spoke with in Iowa. “And with you, we like your policies but also know that you share our values.”
The Florida governor also said that Trump was the preferred candidate of the “corporate media,” and indirectly knocked the former president’s fundraising practices. “There are some that kind of raise money just for themselves,” he said.
