DeSantis and Trump Clash Over COVID-19 Response and Nicknames.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is beginning to differentiate himself from former President Donald Trump, highlighting his different approach to COVID-19 and support for the COVID-19 vaccine. DeSantis also said he would have fired Anthony Fauci, which Trump did not have the legal authority to do. DeSantis is expected to visit several states as part of his book tour and speaking engagements, including South Carolina and Nevada in April. Trump has frequently attacked DeSantis, whom he believes is his biggest challenger in 2024. DeSantis has not made a final decision on a 2024 run but believes he could beat President Joe Biden.
