The attacks continue on Gov. Ron DeSantis from the political team of former President Donald Trump, even if they make little sense. It is an odd recurrence because Team Trump keeps on denying DeSantis is any threat to the former president’s reelection campaign by bragging about his low poll numbers. Yet, they keep talking about him significantly more than any other presidential candidate.
The most recent example was when Trump’s senior adviser Jason Miller said the debate was “the death of Ron DeSantis’s campaign” on Meet the Press earlier this week, as the Washington Examiner previously reported.“I heard someone earlier on the panel say DeSanctimonious did OK. That’s not right,” Miller said. “We saw the death of Ron DeSantis’s campaign tonight as Vivek Ramaswamy leapfrogged him into second place. DeSantis, it didn’t do good enough for him to tread water.
One could argue DeSantis’s performance was underwhelming and that Vivek Ramaswamy was the most talked about candidate from the debate. However, that’s a far cry from declaring his campaign dead. Moreover, Miller’s claim doesn’t appear to be true. A public opinion poll in the Washington Post revealed that a plurality of respondents believed DeSantis was the winner. Furthermore, according to ABC News, DeSantis also apparently raised over $1 million in the 24 hours after Wednesday.
