Trump Attacks Potential Adversary Ron DeSantis During Pennsylvania Rally

Former President Donald Trump took a shot at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Saturday night. Trump – who endorsed DeSantis’ 2018 bid for governor – delivered his first public attack on DeSantis. Trump gave DeSantis one of his trademark nicknames during a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

In what was intended to be a rally to pump up Republican candidates to win critical midterm elections, Trump used the spotlight to attack the Republican governor of Florida.

Trump read polling numbers for favorite Republicans to run for president in the 2024 election, during which he called the Florida governor “Ron DeSanctimonious.”

“Trump at 71%, Ron DeSanctimonious at 10%,” the former president told the crowd.

Trump was citing a Premise poll of only 512 adults between Sept. 2 and Sept. 5.
