As Trump ramps up his third White House bid, the former president is reportedly crafting a five-point attack plan to erode Republicans’ confidence in DeSantis as a way to weaken who is likely to be Trump’s toughest primary opponent. The strategy aims to deter DeSantis from launching a White House bid or at least tarnish his standing should he enter the candidate pool, according to Axios. “There’s a pre-Trump Ron, and there’s a post-Trump Ron," a source close to Trump told the outlet.
Trump will especially hit out against DeSantis for comments he has made on Social Security and Medicare, pointing to the governor’s past support for raising the eligibility age for the welfare programs. Social Security and Medicare are expected to be major issues in the 2024 cycle as Democrats and Republicans attempt to paint each other as willing to gut the insurance programs.
The former president will also focus attacks on DeSantis’s COVID-19 policies as governor and his support for former House Speaker Paul Ryan , who has long been the target of attacks by Trump. He will also accuse DeSantis of being disloyal to him, following through with Trump’s previous claims that he is the reason DeSantis was first elected in 2018.
