Whatever I want, he wants.&#8221; It then shows DeSantis&#8217;s &#8220;Build the Wall&#8221; campaign ad from the 2018 election cycle, which depicted him telling his child to &#8220;build the wall&#8221; and teaching them to say &#8220;Make America Great Again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis has since described the ad as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/haley-campaign-slams-desantis-for-being-echo-of-trump-ahead-of-campaign-launch\/\" title=\"Haley's campaign criticizes DeSantis for echoing Trump before campaign launch.\">satirical ploy intended<\/a> to boost his profile in the heated contest.

In response, Haley proclaims, &#8220;We&#8217;ll stand with our allies from Israel to Ukraine and stand up to our enemies in Iran and Russia.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The campaign video follows a memo that described and rebutted DeSantis&#8217;s elevator pitch to voters as &#8220;Trump without the drama.&#8221; It accused DeSantis of &#8220;literally copying Trump&#8221; and derided him as &#8220;Trump without the charm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and former governor of South Carolina, debuted her campaign in February and is positioning herself as a fresh alternative to the Trumpian wing of the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis Expected to Announce 2024 Plans<\/h3>\n<p>DeSantis is widely expected to announce his 2024 plans during a Twitter Spaces interview with CEO Elon Musk and entrepreneur David Sacks.
