A standoff between former US President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has escalated after the latter officially entered the race for the White House in 2024. Shortly after his bid for the Presidential on Twitter, however, DeSantis made it clear that he’s not “tip toeing around ex-POTUS,” either, “nor is he hesitant about his plans to loosen the powers of the presidency,” as the US broadcaster put it. DeSantis said he believes all candidates should participate in the scheduled GOP primary debates, which Trump previously threatened to boycott. “Nobody is entitled to anything in this world,” said the governor of Florida. In his post-launch speech, the Florida governor called the GOP guidelines “tired dogmas of the past inadequate for the future” and pointed to areas for reform. In particular, he called the former US president fiscally irresponsible and a supporter of amnesty for undocumented immigrants now that America is in the throes of a migration crisis. He drew attention to the shortcomings of Trump’s COVID-19 mitigation policies and also cautioned against the longstanding tradition that government institutions like the US Department of Justice (DOJ) should operate. regardless of the president, setting a more decisive tone than POTUS in this regard, according to US media. The Florida governor added that if elected, his “day one” priority would be to fire the 45th president’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director, Christopher Wray. Political analyst and activist Keith Preston, meanwhile, told Sputnik that while DeSantis can win the Republican nomination, Trump remains the most popular GOP candidate, especially among primary voters, and will benefit from a slate. growing number of candidates. has a chance of taking Trump’s GOP nomination, it would be safer for him to wait until 2028, when ex-POTUS and current President Joe Biden pose no challenge. He also suggested that clashes between Trump and DeSantis could create an image of dysfunction on the Republican side that would work to Democrats’ advantage. At the same time, Harrington and Preston drew attention to DeSantis’ “social conservatism” that could undermine him in a national contest against Biden. Robert Weissberg, a professor emeritus of political science at the University of Illinois Urbana -Champaign, for his part, believes that Trump’s lack of panache could prove an asset rather than a handicap for the governor of Florida. “DeSantis is a very strong candidate whose lack of charisma may be an advantage after wildman Trump,” Weissberg said, suggesting DeSantis could also do well with Hispanic voters.

In recent years, DeSantis has avoided taking a direct swipe at Trump, who previously endorsed the 44-year-old’s gubernatorial bid and was previously touted by the Florida governor as a man “he’ll have a relationship with.” great partnership.”
Trump has spent months since launching his own campaign in November 2022 trying to balk at DeSantis, who so far has turned a blind eye to the 45th president’s attacks on everything from his rival’s record to his personality. .

“The more candidates that enter the GOP primaries, the better Trump’s chances. So far, it looks like the 2016 scenario will repeat itself, where many candidates will split the votes, with Trump potentially winning a plurality by default.” Preston said.
