DeSantis and Trump engage in heated campaign trail exchange.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wrapped up his first week on the presidential campaign trail, making stops in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. He emphasized his conservative record in Florida, including the passage of a six-week abortion ban and a law allowing residents to carry concealed weapons without a permit. DeSantis also criticized President Biden and former President Trump's responses to the migrant crisis and COVID-19 pandemic. He took a gloves-off approach to Trump, labeling his attacks as "juvenile" and suggesting his behavior caused him to lose the 2020 election. The feud between the two frontrunners in the GOP primary revolves around DeSantis' claim that two presidential terms are needed to undo Biden's policies, an indirect shot at Trump, who would be limited to just one more term if elected.
