As former President Trump's attacks on Ron DeSantis increase in frequency as the 2024 GOP presidential nomination race heats up, there's concern and confidence from the Florida governor's camp
"Gov. DeSantis hasn’t even officially entered the race for the White House, and it is crystal clear DeSantis is living rent-free in Trump’s head and the only person who can beat the former president. This is a two-man race, and Trump knows it. Gov. DeSantis has an increasing base of support in key early voting states," Erin Perrine told Fox News.
A longtime GOP strategist with close ties to the Republican donor class told Fox News that"there is some angst and concern out there over the course of the last couple of weeks." Dan Eberhart, a major GOP donor and bundler who helped raise money for Trump in the 2020 cycle but who will back DeSantis if the Florida governor moves ahead and launches a campaign, told Fox News that the former president's"attacks are meant to scare off early DeSantis supporters and undermine the narrative that he’s the only viable alternative Republicans have to Trump."
The Florida governor started clapping back somewhat during a news conference and a Fox Nation interview last week, taking a jab at Trump’s moral code, spotlighting his own electoral record as a"winner" in contrast to Trump’s defeat in the 2020 presidential election, highlighting his"no-nonsense" governing style in comparison to the tumult that characterized the Trump White House years, and mocking the derogatory nicknames Trump has repeatedly called the governor.
