He called on\u200c candidates who have no realistic chance\u2062 of winning the Republican Party \u2063presidential primary to drop out of \u200cthe\u2062 race.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis&#8217;s remarks come as his poll\u2063 numbers\u2062 have\u200b shown signs of improvement in the latest Real Clear \u2062Politics average. After a\u2063 new CNN \u200cpoll revealed\u2064 him\u200b with 18% \u2063support, while other candidates lagged in the single digits, his \u2064numbers rose\u200d from 13% to 14.9%\u200c in just a few\u2062 days. Although former President Trump \u2063maintains a solid \u2064lead in national polls, some state \u200bpolls\u2062 indicate a slightly tighter race. Another notable\u200c change has been former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley surpassing pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy in multiple polls, including\u200d CNN, The Wall Street \u2062Journal, \u200cand The Los Angeles Times.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis&#8217;s Vision for the 2024 Presidential Race<\/h3>\n<p>During an interview with Dave Rubin, DeSantis\u200b discussed various issues in the 2024 presidential race, including attacks from Trump, Trump&#8217;s \u2062explanation for not firing Dr. Anthony \u2062Fauci, poll numbers, future debates, and his own\u2062 record.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to criticism\u200d from\u200d Trump about his handling of \u200bthe coronavirus pandemic in Florida, DeSantis confidently stood\u2063 by \u200bhis record.\u200b He emphasized that nobody\u2063 in the Republican base believes that \u2063New York handled COVID better than Florida. DeSantis pointed out that Trump himself\u2062 had praised his governance until \u200cjust before the midterm elections when he started \u200dattacking him.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also addressed \u200bTrump&#8217;s \u2064recent statement about not \u200bfiring Fauci, clarifying that\u2064 it\u2062 was not \u200btrue. He highlighted that Trump&#8217;s previous excuse had been\u2063 the fear \u200dof backlash from Democrats and the media, but leadership sometimes\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-says-hes-the-top-champion-for-america-first-calls-for-candidates-with-no-path-to-drop-out\/\" title=\"DeSantis claims to be the ultimate advocate for 'America First,' urges candidates without a chance to withdraw.\">requires making tough\u2062 decisions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1693504018745000&#038;usg=AOvVaw1RMMjCvCBOBYdpkw5O_njE\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ \u200bAPP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>DeSantis \u2062further criticized Fauci&#8217;s conduct, mentioning his involvement in gain-of-function research and his promotion of \u200bthe theory that the virus was naturally occurring to\u200c downplay the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rand-paul-demands-d-c-attorney-investigate-fauci-for-lying-to-congress-about-covid-19\/\" title=\"Rand Paul wants D.C. attorney to probe Fauci's COVID-19 lies to Congress.\">lab leak\u2064 theory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>DeSantis: A True Champion of America First Policies<\/h3>\n<p>When asked about his\u2063 message to the most \u200cdedicated Trump\u200c supporters, DeSantis confidently stated that nobody in\u200d the Republican\u2062 Party has \u2063delivered more on\u2062 America First policies and principles than him. He \u200clisted his policy achievements, including cracking down on illegal immigration, expanding Second Amendment rights,\u2062 fighting\u200b against ESG and &#8220;woke&#8221; corporations, removing\u2064 Soros prosecutors, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-ally-running-for-ga-lt-gov\/\" title=\"President Trump ally running for Ga.

However,\u2064 he suggested that some \u200dpolls may \u200cbe \u2063biased \u2062to push a narrative of Trump&#8217;s inevitable victory.\u200d DeSantis revealed\u200b that he \u2063has data \u200bindicating that a substantial portion of Trump&#8217;s \u200bsupport comes from voters who are open to\u200b supporting\u2063 a strong candidate with a proven record of\u2064 delivering on America\u200c First principles.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis expressed satisfaction with \u2063his current position \u2063in \u2062Iowa, comparing it\u200b favorably to the positions of \u200dprevious candidates\u200d like Rick Santorum and \u2062Ted Cruz at the same stage of their \u2064campaigns. He also emphasized\u2062 the importance of Trump\u200b participating in the debates, asserting that no candidate is entitled to the \u2062nomination and suggesting that \u2063some \u2064candidates should consider dropping \u2064out to focus on those with \u200ca realistic chance of winning.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis concluded by highlighting\u200b his\u2064 record of success and his \u200breadiness to address \u200cany shortcomings that opponents may raise. \u2063He firmly believes that \u200che is prepared\u200c to navigate the presidential\u200d race and make a\u2064 significant impact \u200cas a change agent for\u2064 the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>as he asserts his position as the leading advocate for the &#8220;America First&#8221; movement.
