DeSantis won by 19.5 points, amassing more than 1.5 million more votes than Democrat opponent Charlie Crist. DeSantis\u2019 victory in the state was so dominate that he won 62 of the state\u2019s 67 counties, including 59 by double digits.<\/p>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-launches-attack-on-ron-desantis-ahead-of-midterm-election-takes-swipe-at-ted-cruz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">repeatedly<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-attacks-desantis-again-ill-release-things-about-him-that-wont-be-very-flattering-if-he-runs-in-2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attacked<\/a> the Florida governor in the days leading up to the election and has repeatedly launched unprovoked attacks on him in the days since the election.<\/p>\n<p>Trump began his statement, saying,\u00a0\u201cNewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post (bring back Col!), is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious, an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations, who didn\u2019t have to close up his State, but did, unlike other Republican Governors, whose overall numbers for a Republican, were just average\u2014middle of the pack\u2014including COVID, and who has the advantage of SUNSHINE, where people from badly run States up North would go no matter who the Governor was, just like I did!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump continued by saying that DeSantis was \u201cdesperate\u201d in 2017 and that DeSantis \u201chad low approval, bad polls, and no money, but he said that if I would Endorse him, he could win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also fixed his campaign, which had completely fallen apart,\u201d Trump continued. \u201cI was all in for Ron, and he beat Gillum, but after the Race, when votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win. I stopped his Election from being stolen\u2026\u201d<\/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<p><em>The backlash to Trump\u2019s remarks from the political Right was swift and <\/em>far-reaching:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dear Trump Hardcores,<\/p>\n<p>Times change.
