“Look, Donald Trump was president for four years,” DeSantis said. “This problem got worse under him. He did not succeed in draining the swamp.”DeSantis also mocked Hunter Biden’s art career and said it was another cause for concern over possible corruption.The Republican also said that he does not believe Trump could beat President Biden in a general election after his first loss.
