Florida Governor Ron DeSantis broke his silence on his potential 2024 presidential run, declaring he can win the presidency by beating Joe Biden.
DeSantis opened up on Piers Morgan ‘s”stay tuned” when asked about the potential 2024 bid.
“It was clear that the governor has had enough of Trump’s constant baiting and felt ready to take him on in what could end up being a ferocious battle for the White House,” Morgan said, writing about the interview in The New York Post.
“DeSantis slammed Trump over his character failings,” Morgan continued.
“Chaotic leadership style, and for his handling of the COVID pandemic — especially in keeping controversial health chief Dr. Anthony Fauci in his post helping to run the White House Coronavirus Taskforce,” he added.
When Morgan asked DeSantis how the two most popular Republicans are different, he said, “Well I think there’s a few things. The approach to COVID was different. I would have fired somebody like Fauci. I think he got way too big for his britches, and I think he did a lot of damage.”
“I also think just in terms of my approach to leadership,” DeSantis said, appearing to slam Trump.
“I get personnel in the Government who have the agenda of the people and share our agenda. You bring your own agenda in you’re gone. We’re just not gonna have that,” the Florida Governor added.
“So, the way we run the Government I think is no daily drama, focus on the big picture and put points on the board and I think that’s something that’s very important,” DeSantis said.
Then DeSantis was then asked about the mudslinging from Trump.
“I don’t know how to spell the sanctimonious one. I don’t really know what it means, but I kinda like it, it’s long, it’s got a lot of vowels. We’ll go with that, that’s fine. I mean you can call me whatever you want, just as long as you also call me a winner because that’s what we’ve been able to do in Florida, is put a lot of points on the board and really take this State to the next level,” he said.
