Gov. Ron DeSantis, in an exclusive interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday, brushed aside concerns about the state of his presidential campaign and continued to downplay the conflict in Ukraine
In the interview, recorded shortly after Donald Trump announced on social media he was the target of an investigation into the January 6, 2021, insurrection, DeSantis remained upbeat about his chance of defeating the former president even as his campaign cuts staff and attempts a restart amid stalled polling and mounting expenses. “They’ve been saying that I’ve been doing poorly for my whole time as governor, basically,” DeSantis said.
” “The goal should be a sustainable, enduring peace in Europe, but one that does not reward aggression,” DeSantis said. Asked by Tapper if he would stop arming Ukraine or sending financial support, DeSantis wouldn’t say. Instead, he advocated for turning the focus of the US military away from Europe and toward Asia and China. “I am not gonna diminish our stocks and not send to Taiwan.
