DeSantis, Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence—the top GOP candidates for the 2024 nomination aside from Trump—have so far not attacked the former president on the E. Jean Carroll verdict.
He then said that he feels voters in 2024 will likely care more about issues that directly affect them than the Carroll case. On Wednesday, DeSantis—who also has not declared he is a 2024 candidate—was asked by a reporter about the sexual abuse verdict during an immigration event in Jacksonville, Florida.
Like Pence, the former South Carolina governor said Americans will be more concerned about issues other than the verdict."We've got to focus on what people are talking about," Haley said.
