After mostly brushing off repeated attacks by former President Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is starting to punch back, as the 2024 Republican White House race heats up
, the governor spoke out on Monday.
DeSantis — in an apparent jab at Trump’s moral code — added that"I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I can’t speak to that." An adviser in the former president’s political world, who asked for anonymity to speak more freely, charged that"the attacks that Ron has levied are weak at best."
Sources in DeSantis’ wider orbit have said any presidential campaign launch would come in the late spring or early summer, after the end of the current legislative session. However, the governor’s latest travel itinerary to the early voting states of Iowa and Nevada and a trip next month to New Hampshire are sparking more 2024 speculation.
"Ron DeSanctimonious is the most overrated politician in America," Trump claimed in a separate post on Thursday."His Numbers on COVID, Crime, and Education are terrible, but nobody knows it—Now they do. He shouldn’t even be running!"
