For months, Trump and DeSantis have engaged in a behind-the-scenes cold war as Florida’s governor positions himself as a leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
DeSantis’ refusal to publicly back off his ambitions has incensed Trump, who’s consistently broadcasted his intention to run again since his supporters’ failed insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
DeSantis was notably absent from the Miami-Dade County Fairgrounds as he was in Tampa for a reelection campaign rally of his own. Multiple media reports noted thatHowever, a Florida International University poll of, who are the predominant Hispanic voting bloc in Miami-Dade County, shows they favor Trump over DeSantis by 32 percent to 25 percent. The Miami rally attendees, mostly Hispanic conservatives, backed up FIU’s findings.
Trump fed the crowd his usual list of false grievances about the 2020 election being stolen from him and that his two impeachments were hoaxes. The ex-president also made ludicrously unfounded claims that Democrats are responsible for allowing the profits of drug cartels to blow up by “2,500 percent,” and that “streets in America are ruled by ruthless, bloodthirsty gangs.” He also claimed without evidence that every drug dealer kills an average of 500 people in their lifetime.
Jorge Perez, a 48-year-old Cuban American Republican holding up a large blue “Let’'s Go Brandon” flag and a DeSantis campaign t-shirt, said it’s only logical that Florida’s governor stay in his lane. “Trump is the guy calling the shots,” Perez said. “I imagine the Republican Party machinery will fall in line behind him.
“I told them we need him as governor,” Kunst said. “There is nobody strong enough to take over. He can’t create all this momentum and then leave.”Idianette Martinez, a Cuban American wearing a red Trump 2024 t-shirt, agreed with Kunst. “If DeSantis is smart, I don’t think he will run against Trump,” Martinez said. “He needs to stay governor and Trump has to become president again. There is no other way.
