August 22, 2023, 6:20 PMMiami's mayor thinks “America will do something different” when considering him as the country’s next commander in chief.took repeated aim at one of his party's most prominent White House hopefuls -- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis -- while suggesting he saw some problems with the prosecution of front-runner Donald Trump, who denies wrongdoing.
"These were scholars that put that together. It was not anything that was done politically," DeSantis said then. Suarez drew another contrast with DeSantis, contending that DeSantis' fight with Disney after the company's criticism of the Parental Rights in Education bill had led DeSantis to pursue anti-business policies that were harming the state economy.
With respect to the charges Trump separately faces in federal court in Washington, regarding efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss, Suarez appeared to cast doubt on the idea that Trump was aware he lost the race, asking, "Have you ever heard him say that he knew he lost the election?" "The fact that every time he's prosecuted, he surges in the polls, that should say something," he added.
