.GovRonDeSantis drew a strong contrast between him and former President Trump by refusing to disparage fellow members of the GOP, instead saying, 'I’m fighting Biden.”
“Look, I have the responsibility to govern a state, and I’ve got to focus on delivering results. I’ve also got to protect the people against Biden’s policies, and so when I’m getting in fights, I’m fighting Biden,” DeSantis told the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview.Over recent months, DeSantis has shown a propensity for avoiding back-and-forths with prominent Republicans, unlike Trump.
DeSantis quickly shrugged off the broadside, a pattern that would follow in the successive months amid Trump's sporadic diatribes against him. Whenever asked about Trump's insults, DeSantis usually sidesteps a tit-for-tat with Trump, who is a notorious rhetorical brawler, by pivoting to his record as governor.
His remarks echo that of former President Ronald Reagan, whose so-called"11th Commandment" implored fellow GOP members not to"speak ill of another Republican." It also sets the stage for a possible political showdown with Biden, who is weighing a reelection bid. In the meantime, DeSantis has been laser-focused on eking out policy wins in the Sunshine State, including a recent push to ramp up the migrant flight program, initiatives to root out"woke" influences in academia, and to purge"environmental, social, and corporate governance" from state and local government investment funds, among others.
