Analysis: Donald Trump has a growing Ron DeSantis problem. And judging by one of his first big volleys in their prospective 2024 matchup, the former president doesn’t have a lot of cogent ideas for how to combat it.
And all the while, Trump praised both Florida’s reopening in general and DeSantis by name:while hailing states with the most ambitious reopening timelines. “Look at what’s going on in Florida, it’s incredible. If you look at so many different places that have opened up … the ones that are most energetic about opening, they are doing tremendous business, and this is what these numbers are all about.”In late July, during a covid roundtable in Florida, Trump said DeSantis had done “a fantastic job.
Now, a little more than two years later, Trump is attacking the governor he once called “great” for not closing — and whose reopening plan he never expressed any disagreement with — and is claiming DeSantis was too restrictive.Not that rhetorical consistency has ever been Trump’s strength. We should probably view this for what it is: an attempt to inject doubt in certain people’s minds.
But if their respective covid records are what Trump has to work with — and if his own record is something he views as a political vulnerability — that’s telling.
