"DeSantis Takes Aim at Trump and Promises Law and Order in Tampa Campaign Stop"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized former President Donald Trump, blaming him for his own defeat in the 2020 election and suggesting that Trump lacked the energy to lead the country again. DeSantis took shots at Trump's age and stamina, stating that the GOP nomination shouldn't be a coronation for "anybody that couldn't even stop Joe Biden." DeSantis also questioned Trump's fundraising numbers and promised to finish what Trump could not, including building a wall at the southern border. The remarks indicate DeSantis' intention to recast the race around Trump's perceived shortcomings and his shift to a more aggressive approach in recent weeks.
