DeSantis' Troubles Fuel Republican Concerns as Trump Remains Unscathed
TL;DR Summary
Republican voters are holding Governor Ron DeSantis to traditional standards while grading former President Donald Trump on a curve in his third presidential campaign. Trump's more outrageous comments are seen as musings rather than deeper views on policy, while DeSantis is being held to the standards of a typical politician. DeSantis has faced backlash from voters for moving to the right of Trump and signing a law banning abortions in Florida after six weeks of pregnancy. Trump's base dismisses his contradictory policy impulses and statements as just the way he talks, while DeSantis's words and actions harden as soon as they happen.
