Byron Donalds of Florida, a supporter of former President Trump, criticized Governor Ron DeSantis for his political approach and expressed his expectation that DeSantis would struggle with his presidential campaign. Donalds highlighted the importance of engaging and connecting with people in presidential politics, which he believed DeSantis lacked. DeSantis's campaign has faced challenges in competing with Trump's strong lead, as reflected in recent polls. The majority of Florida Republicans have aligned themselves with Trump, and tensions between Donalds and DeSantis have escalated over revised education guidelines on the history of slavery.
