Donald Trump has continued to target RonDeSantis, now criticizing the governor's handling of COVID-19. 'How about the fact that he had the third-most deaths of any state having to do with the China virus or COVID?' Trump said in a posted video.
Trump said in a video that once the"facts come out" about DeSantis, voters would see that he was superior to most Democratic governors but was"very average, at best" when compared to Republican governors. The video was uploaded a day after DeSantis made his announcement on Wednesday that he was running for president in 2024.
