Steve Cortes got pretty blunt during a Twitter spaces session on Sunday night.
The commentary by Cortes came in a conversation with the @CryptoLawyerz, an anonymous Twitter account popular with conservatives.Cortes endorsed DeSantis for president in May after working on the Trump campaign in 2016 and 2020. He joined the Never Back Down super PAC as an adviser and spokesperson in that same month.
“I am of the belief that since 2020 he has not gained any voters, but he has shed quite a few,” Cortes said of Trump. In national polls, Trump has maintained a consistent, double digit lead over his 2024 rivals, none of whom have managed to capture the same kind of draw or enthusiasm as the former president. His grip on the Republican electorate has strengthened in the aftermath of two indictments — one for an alleged hush money payment to a pornographic actress, the other for allegedly mishandling classified documents.
In addition to providing some of the most candid observations about the race from within the DeSantis camp, Cortes talked about some of the personal attacks and backlash he faced for choosing to endorse the Florida governor over Trump.But he added, “I believe we can be reasonable about where he fell short and what the path is moving forward.”
