Former President Donald Trump slammed his former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany for providing what he referred to as "wrong poll numbers" on Fox News.
In terms of popularity, Trump enjoys an approval rate of 79% among potential GOP voters, while DeSantis is viewed favorably by 71% of the party's electorate.
"We can’t expect someone to run the country if they can’t properly run their own campaign launch. The stakes are simply too great in 2024 to take a chance on someone as unreliable as DeSantis — we need a proven winner like President Trump to take back the White House and Make America Great Again!”
While participating in the "Clay & Buck" podcast, a day after his presidential bid announcement, DeSantis expressed his concerns about the perceived misuse of the FBI and the Department of Justice for politically motivated targeting.
DeSantis' announcement, released in an audio-only format, was made public through an FEC filing ahead of a virtual conversation with Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter.
Musk shared that DeSantis will be making “quite an announcement” on Twitter and referred to the event as "the first time something like this is happening on social media.”
