Donald Trump is stepping up his barrage against Gov. Ron DeSantis, declaring that the Florida governor is “very unlikely” to become his 2024 running mate — while insisting, “I am not looking to attack Republicans.”
“No, I think that would be a very unlikely alliance,” the former president said in a Friday interview with Newsmax.
“I’ve never thought of it,” Trump said about teaming up with his probable GOP primary rival.
“We have a lot of great people in the Republican Party,” he continued, without naming any potential ticket mates.
Trump went on to repeat some of his favorite attacks on the Florida governor — who he has dubbed “Ron DeSanctimonious” as well as, allegedly, “Meatball Ron.”
“I appointed him,” Trump said, recalling DeSantis’ first run for governor in 2018.
“He was failing badly in the polls. He was out of politics. He was going to be out of politics, and I endorsed him.
