.RonDeSantis believes that Donald Trump's 'juvenile' attacks toward him and others cost Trump the White House in 2020. 'I think it’s so petty...I don’t think that’s what voters want,' DeSantis said of Trump's mudslinging.
Gov. Ron DeSantis believes that former President Donald Trump's"juvenile" attacks toward him and others cost the former president the White House in 2020.
"I think it’s so petty. I think it’s so juvenile. I don’t think that’s what voters want," DeSantis said when asked about his reaction to Trump's attacks."And honestly, I think that his conduct — which he’s been doing for years now — I think that’s one of the reasons he’s not in the White House now, because I think he alienated too many voters, for things that really don’t matter.""I think that the substance — people want to see the substantive debate.
"No governor was bolder on policy and accomplishments than I was in Florida," DeSantis said."I won almost 60% of the vote in a swing state. You don’t do that by alienating people — you do that by attracting people who want to share your vision and appreciate the accomplishments and the results that you’ve delivered for them."
"I don’t care what they say about me in terms of name-calling. Although, you know, I would say you need to call me a winner because we’ve won in Florida over and over again," DeSantis said."I don’t care about any of that. But I think it is a distraction. And I think it turns off the voters."
