Former President Donald Trump has threatened Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with uncomfortable revelations should he participate in the 2024 White House race. He may say “things that aren’t particularly flattering” about DeSantis, Trump told Fox News Digital. Tuesday. “I know more about him than anyone, except maybe his wife.”
Trump announced a “very big announcement” on Monday, November 15. It can be assumed that he wants to announce his candidacy in the presidential election of 2024, which he has long been hinting at.
The 76-year-old continues to be popular with Republican voters. And the few Republican politicians who broke up with him after his lies about presidential election fraud have been ostracized by the party.
But in the country as a whole, Trump is so controversial that several Republicans like DeSantis or his former Vice President Mike Pence are believed to challenge him with their candidacy. 44-year-old DeSantis, also positioned on the right, is considered a particularly strong rival.
“If it starts, it could be very painful for him,” Trump said of the Florida governor. “I think it would make a mistake. I don’t think it would be good for the party.” DeSantis was awaiting re-election as governor on Tuesday. According to the polls, he was ahead.
