President Joe Biden and political nemesis Donald Trump held opposing rallies in crucial states for key candidates in their parties on the final Sunday before Tuesday's midterm elections that could reshape Washington’s balance of power.
“There’s never been a time in my career where we’ve glorified violence based on a political preference,” the president said.
“I will probably have to do it again, but stay tuned,” Trump said, teasing an event he has with Republican Senate candidate in Ohio, JD Vance, for Monday. “We have a big, big rally. Stay tuned for tomorrow night.” Instead, DeSantis held his own, separate events Sunday in another part of the state where he stuck to the centerpieces of his reelection campaign, including railing against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and “wokeness” in schools and other parts of society. The governor’s counter political programing avoided antagonizing Trump — meaning it didn’t deliver the dueling 2024 events that could be in his and Trump’s near future.Trump said Sunday that Florida would “reelect Ron DeSantis as your governor.
Trump remains the most popular figure in the Republican Party. Still, many of his supporters are eager for the prospect that DeSantis might run, seeing him as a natural successor to Trump, without the former president’s considerable political negatives.
