DeSantis Returns to Florida, Sharpens Attacks on Trump

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, once seen as a potential challenger to former President Donald Trump, is facing challenges in his own state as Trump continues to lead by a wide margin in polls. DeSantis recently campaigned in Tampa, where he received endorsements from local law enforcement officials but faced skeptical questions from voters and reporters. He is also struggling to raise campaign funds and has focused heavily on Iowa, where he plans to campaign alongside a super PAC supporting his presidential bid. Despite endorsements from state lawmakers and aggressive criticism of Trump, DeSantis still lags behind in polls and faces viability questions from donors and the press.
