While it is true Trump supported both in their runs for governor, neither DeSantis nor Youngkin have said they intend to run for president.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible Trump zeroed in on Youngkin because earlier Thursday his popular lieutenant governor, Winsome Sears, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/winsome-sears-as-a-marine-i-look-at-the-mission-and-thats-why-i-wont-support-trump-in-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she would not support a Trump 2024 bid<\/a>. Although she has previously been a strong supporter of Trump, she said the midterm results showed his time has passed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA true leader understands when they have become a liability,\u201d Sears said. \u201cA true leader understands that it\u2019s time to step off the stage. And the voters have given us that very clear message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like DeSantis, Youngkin has not sought to engage Trump despite the former president\u2019s sniping. The Thursday attack on DeSantis followed Trump\u2019s earlier effort to coin one of his trademark nicknames for the Sunshine State governor, calling him \u201cRon DeSanctimonious.\u201d The attempt appeared to fall flat, as many if not most Trump supporters also admire DeSantis, who won re-election Tuesday by a margin of nearly 20%.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Trump went much further. First, he claimed credit for DeSantis\u2019s narrow 2018 gubernatorial victory, then called him an \u201caverage\u201d governor and sought to discredit DeSantis\u2019s handling of the COVID pandemic despite the Florida governor\u2019s strong anti-lockdown and anti-mask and vaccine mandate stances.<\/p>\n<p>He ended the blitz by making it clear what was really annoying him: The prospect of a 2024 primary challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd now, Ron DeSanctimonious is playing games!\u201d Trump concluded in his attack on DeSantis. \u201cThe Fake News asks him if he\u2019s going to run if President Trump runs, and he says, \u2018I\u2019m only focused on the Governor\u2019s race, I\u2019m not looking into the future.\u2019 Well, in terms of loyalty and class, that\u2019s really not the right answer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Trump followed up an unprovoked attack on Florida\u2019s Ron DeSantis with a strange swipe Friday morning at another popular Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin of Virginia.
