Trump and DeSantis Clash Over Abortion Policy and Insults.

Donald Trump is targeting his closest Republican rival, Ron DeSantis, with a surprisingly policy-heavy strategy, focusing on issues such as Social Security, Medicare, foreign policy, and DeSantis' record in office. Trump has attacked DeSantis 216 times since November, with 40% of those attacks targeting policy issues. The strategy marks a contrast with Trump's 2016 campaign, which relied heavily on personal insults. DeSantis has largely failed to push back against Trump's verbal onslaught, contributing to the former president's big early lead in opinion polls in the Republican race.
