Ron DeSantis&#8217;s Campaign\u2062 is Finished<\/h2>\n<p>During an interview with Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night, former\u200b President\u200b Donald Trump made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/metoo-tweets-from-andrew-cuomo-that-aged-horribly\/\" title=\"#MeToo Tweets From Andrew Cuomo That Aged Horribly\">bold statement<\/a> about his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-debate-trump-claims-desantiss-campaign-is-gonzo\/\" title=\"Trump accuses DeSantis's campaign of being 'crazy' in Republican debate.\">top presidential primary opponent<\/a>, Gov. Ron DeSantis\u200c (R-FL). Trump\u2062 confidently declared that DeSantis&#8217;s campaign is finished, using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hypocrisy-on-full-display-in-biden-white-house-after-staffer-threatened-journalist\/\" title=\"Hypocrisy On Full Display In Biden White House After Staffer Threatened Journalist\">derogatory language<\/a> to express his opinion. However, \u2064Trump acknowledged that if someone else were to enter\u200d the race, they would face the same vicious attacks he experienced.<\/p>\n<h3>Stealing the Spotlight<\/h3>\n<p>The \u2062timing of the interview was \u2063strategic, as it coincided with the Republican National \u200dCommittee&#8217;s first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-campaign-mum-amid-reports-he-will-spurn-gop-debate-for-tucker-carlson\/\" title=\"Trump campaign silent as reports suggest he will skip GOP debate for Tucker Carlson.\">primary debate airing<\/a>\u200b on Fox News.

On the \u2063other hand, DeSantis has encountered various campaign issues, including financial concerns, staffing problems, and\u2062 messaging challenges. As a result, DeSantis&#8217;s poll numbers have declined \u2062while Trump&#8217;s continue to rise.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s Controversial Remarks<\/h3>\n<p>During the interview, Trump also claimed that Fox News favored DeSantis over him but dismissed the governor&#8217;s campaign as a &#8220;lost cause.&#8221; Additionally, Trump vehemently criticized the indictments brought\u2062 against him,\u2062 labeling them\u200d as fraudulent and expressing his disdain for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. \u200cTrump is set to turn himself in to a Fulton County\u2062 jail on Thursday, where he will have his mugshot and fingerprints taken.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these controversies, Trump remains the frontrunner for\u2062 the GOP&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-calls-travel-lid-for-wednesday-an-hour-after-bobulinski-interview-airs\/\" title=\"Biden Calls Travel Lid for Wednesday an Hour After Bobulinski Interview Airs\">presidential nominee<\/a> in the upcoming election.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump declared Gov.
