A Fox News poll released Sunday found Donald Trump getting 43% in the 2024 presidential primary, with Ron DeSantis behind him at 28% and Greg Abbott much farther back, with 2%. Story by TexasTribune.
Gov. Greg Abbott, seen in San Antonio in October, is being overshadowed by Ron DeSantis as more Texas Republicans are energized by the possibility of a presidential run by the Florida governor.In July 2021, a Dallas radio host asked Gov. Greg Abbott if he was fed up with constantly being measured against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis and Abbott often appear to be locked in an unspoken ideological arms race, seemingly competing for the title of the nation’s most conservative governor, as they take turns leading and then following one another, enacting policies and backing bills that push both states further to the right.
Luke Macias, a conservative political consultant in Texas who is often critical of Abbott, said it’s about more than just policy. It’s about leadership. Evan Power, vice chair of the Republican Party of Florida, said Florida does not “see Texas as a rival in … our freedom or where we are legislatively anymore.”
Harris County GOP Chair Cindy Siegel announced DeSantis’ appearance in a statement that was careful to treat the two states as peers rather than rivals.
