Gov. Ron DeSantis predicted Tuesday he would fare better against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign in a general election scenario, as opposed to former President Donald Trump, who was shown to lose support to him in a recent measure.
But, he explained,"If I'm the nominee, they all go to me because I stood up against Fauci. I'm going to clean out the CDC and all of those. It's a big part of my platform." “He would hurt Trump,” DeSantis says of Kennedy at a New Hampshire campaign stop. pic.twitter.com/KUOAejWx8HIn a recent poll from USA Today/Suffolk University, Trump tied with President Joe Biden, with each receiving 37%. The tie was due, in part, to Kennedy's independent bid drawing double the amount of Republican voters as Democrats. Kennedy garnered 13% in the survey. If he were not in the mix, Trump would have bested Biden, 41% to 39%.
