DeSantis Dodges On Supporting Trump As Nominee

Politico reports:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declined on Thursday to say whether he would support Donald Trump if the former president becomes the Republican nominee to challenge President Joe Biden in 2024.

DeSantis, who launched his own presidential campaign last month, was asked whether he would “support” in the wake of Trump’s recent barrage of criticism over the governor’s handling of Covid-19. DeSantis sidestepped that part of the question and instead said Trump was “full of it” for criticizing how DeSantis responded to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Trump has repeatedly suggested — including this week during an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier — that former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo did a better job handling Covid than DeSantis did. That drew a fierce rebuttal from DeSantis who said Trump’s recent comments were “false” and not “credible.”
