Although GovRonDeSantis hasn't entered the 2024 presidential race yet, Trump is already trying to defeat him. JebBush's endorsement of DeSantis may be just what Trump needs to tie the governor to the establishment.
Trump has been trying to turn DeSantis, who has yet to announce a presidential campaign, into the second coming of Jeb Bush.Bush was a respected conservative governor of Florida 16 years ago, as DeSantis is today. But in the last decade, perceptions of Bush have shifted. He is now seen as a prototypical establishment Republican.
The attacks on DeSantis have had difficulty landing. The pugilistic Florida governor is not viewed by the base as at all similar to his Bush family predecessor. DeSantis has also not allowed Trump to outflank him on populism and nationalism, sounding a skeptical note about President Joe Biden’s approach to the war in Ukraine and sounding the alarm on China.“He’s been a really effective governor. He’s young. I think we’re on the verge of a generational change in our politics — kind of hope so.
In this telling, DeSantis is a Trump imitator boosted by all the people in the Republican Party who hate Trump. That should give rank-and-file MAGA Republicans pause, the former president contends. It comes as Trump’s GOP critics point to the 45th president’s role in a disappointing midterm election, endorsing candidates who went on to lose key Senate races and allow Democrats to expand their razor-thin majority.
