A prominent backer of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) in 2024 acknowledged that Donald Trump is the “runaway frontrunner” in the GOP field.
in connection with classified documents the 77-year-old kept at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Cortes also attributed DeSantis’s “clear underdog” status to a lack of public knowledge about the 44-year-old. “He’s campaigning with just frenetic pace already. So I think once we get that out there, my view is that we’re going to to close this gap,” Cortes added of the Florida governor. “I’m of the firm view that it is a two-man race.”“I am of the belief that since 2020 he has not gained any voters, but he has shed quite a few,” Cortes said of his former boss.
“If we do not prevail — and I have every intent on winning, I didn’t sign up for this to come in second — but if we do not prevail I will tell you this, we will make President Trump better for having this kind of primary,” he said.“Taking on an incumbent or former president in the primary always represents a significant challenge,” he said.
“Ron Desantis has been underestimated in every race he has won, and this time will be no different. Donald Trump has to explain to Republican voters why he didn’t do the things he is now promising in his first term as president,” campaign spokesperson Bryan Griffin said.
