Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida escalated his feud with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday, daring the West Coast Democrat to 'stop pussyfooting around' and launch a primary challenge against President Joe Biden.
“He’s got huge problems in his state –- I mean, like, huge problems in his state,”said. “Yet with all those problems, he has a real serious fixation on the state of Florida. I think it’s just bizarre.”
DeSantis then turned to the Democrats’ 2024 primary election, in which Biden is facing only token opposition. “You know what? Stop pussyfooting around,” DeSantis said. “Are you gonna throw your hat in the ring and challenge Joe? Are you going to get in and do it? Or are you just gonna sit on the sidelines and chirp?”
DeSantis’ jab comes as he shies away from confrontation with his chief rival in the GOP’s White House primary, former President Donald Trump.has previously said he would not challenge Biden in 2024 but has taken steps to boost his national profile in recent months. While several of Trump’s Republican rivals have raised concerns about his federal indictment, DeSantis has largely avoided the subject. The governor made only a brief mention of the charges in a weekend speech to the North Carolina GOP during which he focused his censure on the Justice Department and the Biden administration.
