According to Axelrod,\u200c one candidate in\u2064 particular is\u2064 in &#8220;jeopardy&#8221; and stands to lose the\u2064 most.<\/p>\n<p>Axelrod, who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-top-energy-regulator-previously-lobbied-for-offshore-wind-farm-approved-by-administration\/\" title=\"Biden's Top Energy Regulator Previously Lobbied for Offshore Wind Farm Approved by Administration\">previously advised<\/a> former President Barack Obama, \u200cappeared on CNN&#8217;s State of the Union Sunday\u200d to voice his concerns about Gov.

He started off \u2062\u2013 \u200chis whole candidacy was premised on, he was the alternative to Trump,&#8221; \u200cAxelrod \u200dexpressed. &#8220;He&#8217;s\u2063 been doing nothing but sinking since \u2064he became a candidate. And now he&#8217;s in jeopardy of\u2062 losing that\u200c distinction as being Trump&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/meet-the-self-interested-trio-behind-the-anti-desantis-attacks\/\" title=\"Introducing the Self-Interested Trio Fueling Anti-DeSantis Attacks\">principal challenger<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Axelrod further emphasized that DeSantis&#8217;s \u2063<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/david-axelrod-predicts-ron-desantis-in-most-jeopardy-for-upcoming-debate\/\" title=\"David Axelrod foresees Ron DeSantis as the most vulnerable in the upcoming debate.\">current position creates<\/a> an &#8220;opportunity for\u2062 everybody else on the stage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Currently, DeSantis is the front-runner behind former President Donald Trump,\u2064 who recently\u2063 confirmed that he \u200dwill not be participating in the debate.
