Trump Mocks DeSantis as a Vulnerable Bird at GOP Summit

At the Florida Republican Party's annual summit, former President Donald Trump compared Governor Ron DeSantis to a "wounded, falling baby bird" and dismissed his chances of winning the presidential nomination. Trump recounted how he hit DeSantis hard during the 2018 campaign and showcased legislators who had previously endorsed the governor. DeSantis, in his speech, focused on his conservative policy wins and leadership skills. While some attendees expressed support for DeSantis, there was a strong preference for Trump, with many citing his experience in Washington.
