Donald Trump’s Presidential Campaign senses momentum and a chance to destroy Ron DeSantis’ challenge to him for the GOP Presidential Nomination before his campaign even officially begins. DeSantis has had a terrible few weeks, with him even bizarrely threatening – hopefully just joking – to build a prison on land near Disney. That will sure win over young families and suburban women! DeSantis has waited so long to announce he’s running, that he has allowed Trump to define him. That is always a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nGov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> is increasingly on the ropes against former President Donald Trump<\/a>, who is claiming congressional endorsements and polling victories as his campaign tries to stop Mr. DeSantis<\/a> from officially entering the presidential race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those close to Mr. Trump<\/a>\u2019s 2024 campaign say his team is moving aggressively to diminish the popular Florida governor and crush his undeclared candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey want to keep a foot on his throat,\u201d a\u00a0Republican Party<\/a>\u00a0strategist with close ties to the\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u00a0campaign told The Washington Times. \u201cThey want to freeze\u00a0DeSantis<\/a>\u00a0out of the race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Trump team is rattled by Mr. DeSantis<\/a>, who has been on a shadow campaign blitz for weeks after his historic, double-digit reelection win in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump<\/a>\u00a0campaign aides are saturating social media with jabs at Mr.\u00a0DeSantis<\/a>. They are promoting Mr.\u00a0Trump<\/a>\u2019s soaring poll numbers and his cascade of endorsements. The\u00a0Trump<\/a>-aligned super\u00a0PAC MAGA Inc.<\/a>\u00a0is attacking Mr.\u00a0DeSantis<\/a>\u00a0on the airwaves in an ad depicting the governor as a pudding-slurping politician who wants to slash Social Security benefits. . . . <\/p>\nWASHINGTON TIMES<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
