As GovRonDeSantis drops the hints that he will be getting into the presidential race, subtle attempts to criticize and contrast himself with Trump have become noticeable. 'I didn’t have a single leak in my administration,” DeSantis told FoxNews.
DeSantis has largely shrugged off increasingly personal attacks from Trump, who appears to regard the Florida governor’s apparent, yet still unannounced, interest in the 2024 Republican presidential nomination as an act of disloyalty. Trump frequently mentions his 2018 endorsement of DeSantis in the GOP gubernatorial primary.
The discrepancy between Trump’s foreign policy and that of much of his national security team was illustrated by his appointment of John Bolton at a time when the administration sought to withdraw from Afghanistan and shrink the U.S. military footprint in the Middle East. Aside from DeSantis, the rest of the 2024 Republican presidential field may be dominated by people who worked for Trump, led by former Vice President Mike Pence.
“I think people in Florida, I mean, we go very high-octane,” he added. “I bounce around to all corners of this state. And I think people respond to that.” “Look, I have the responsibility to govern a state, and I’ve got to focus on delivering results,” DeSantis recently told the Washington Examiner. “I’ve also got to protect the people against Biden’s policies, and so when I’m getting in fights, I’m fighting Biden.”
