We found no evidence of a criminal plot to 'steal' the election from DeSantis in 2018. Our fact-check of Donald Trump:

During a gubernatorial debate this past October, DeSantis would not say whether he will run for president. Trump may announce his campaign next week. As the rivalry has unfolded, on Truth Social this week, Trump suggested he had stopped a steal of DeSantis' 2018 gubernatorial election.

"I was all in for Ron, and he beat Gillum, but after the Race, when votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win. I stopped his Election from being stolen," Trump wrote Nov.

"Unless the federal agents were undercover and didn't identify themselves, there was nobody there saying, ‘Yes we are from the FBI or CIA or federal bureau of stopping the steal,’" Geller said.A Broward County Supervisor of Elections spokesperson said the office had"no documentation of any federal law enforcement presence during the 2018 elections" and no evidence of corruption.

Days after the general election, GOP activists protested outside the Broward Supervisor of Elections’ vote counting center.
