During the campaign for the GOP's Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano on Saturday in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump unleashed a stunning assault on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a probable contender for the Republican Party nominee for presidential elections in 2024 if the two men declare their respective candidacies as expected.
Trump told a gathering at a rally in Latrobe that the Republican Party is winning big and there is huge support for his nomination like no one has ever seen before. There it is: Trump at 71, Ron DeSanctimonious at 10%, as per media reports. He was pointing to poll data on a giant screen as he developed a new moniker for a guy many consider to be his most likely successor.
Trump, on the other hand, was quick to tone down the following Sunday, mostly while responding to criticism he received from several conservatives, when he spoke to another rally in Florida that is likely to elect Marco Rubio to the United States Senate and Ron DeSantis as their governor.
