DeSantis and Trump: A Tumultuous Relationship in the Polls

Allies of former President Donald Trump are accusing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of criticizing Trump in a recent interview with Piers Morgan because of his falling poll numbers in the 2024 Republican presidential primary. DeSantis, who has not yet announced a presidential bid, has been preparing for a potential run. In the interview, DeSantis criticized Trump's leadership style and cast himself as a "winner" who could avoid daily drama. Trump's allies, including the main Trump-aligned super PAC, MAGA Inc., have criticized DeSantis for his remarks and accused him of being a political fraud who despises the MAGA base.
