As some Republicans tire of 'the exhausting circus that surrounds Trump,' Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is 'lying in wait, sharpening his knives'
As the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riots lays out Donald Trump’s obsessive efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, Trump allies have responded with the political equivalent of a collective eye roll.
While Eberhart suspected that the hearings were hardening Trump’s core supporters, he also noted that one of the former president’s more formidable, potential opponents was benefiting too.In some pockets of DeSantis land, these sentiments are shared.
“A five-point win, and I think he would be off to the races,” the person said. “January 6 or not, the fact that he [DeSantis] is not seeking Trump’s endorsement I think says everything you need to know.” But Trump himself seems to have internalized that the hearings have inflicted some dents. The former president has tuned into the proceedings from his Bedminster club in New Jersey and has fumed publicly and privately over a lack of Republican defenders on the committee.
