The tycoon lashes out at Florida’s governor, calling him “prudish,” mediocre and disloyal, as Democrats and Republicans face a weekend of heartbreak with the vote recount in Arizona and Nevada
It couldn’t be. Donald Trump has failed to keep his mouth shut and just over forty-eight hours after Governor Ron DeSantis’ landslide victory in the Florida polls, he has been slamming down who his rival could be as a conservative candidate for the White House in 2024. In a series of messages, he was sent against the 44-year-old Republican pledge who accused him of “prudishness” and disloyalty, after describing him as an “average governor”, yes, “with excellent” “public relations” skills; in other words, a politician with more form than substance, vulgar. The former president’s tone has escalated to the point where he threatens to reveal personal aspects of DeSantis that “only his wife knows,” in Trumpism’s worst slum style.
Donald Trump is himself. His anger and obsessions are still beyond the advice of his advisers, who try in the best possible way to save him from the unfavorable climate created to his figure within the party as a result of the results of the interim elections. Influential conservative sectors accuse the former president of losing “perfectly winnable seats” in Congress and the Senate because of the “low quality” of the candidates he selected for hundreds of positions in the nation. On Thursday, advisers pressured Trump not to announce his candidacy for President of the United States next Tuesday, given the bad times he is going through, and they also advised him not to comment on DeSantis so as not to worsen his suffering image. .
But Trump has decided to open the war. In his own social network, he has expressed his distaste for the media and those within the party who were enthusiastic about the governor’s victory and has sent him a barrage of messages that John Wayne’s gun wouldn’t have. can improve in ‘Rio Bravo’. He regains the old nickname he was branded by on more than one occasion, “Ron DeSanturron”, and it hurts that he is “playing” with a possible presidential candidacy.
The Republican leader indirectly challenges DeSantis to express himself clearly (if he presents himself, the two must compete in the primaries), despite the Florida politician’s entourage indicating that he may remain silent until the end of the election. term of your government. Conservative sources believe part of the tycoon’s interest lies in the fact that if DeSantis were to make public the decision to go to the polls in 2024 now, there would be internal divisions in the party Trump is in. weight, the current scope of Trumpism and the internal support it has within.
The ex-mandator has felt particularly bad about the conservative media’s support for the new rising star of republicanism. “NewsCorp, Fox, the Wall Street Journal and whoever is no longer the big New York Post are determined to support him,” he said in a tweet, reflecting the anger he felt Wednesday when he saw in the ‘Post’ the headline ‘DeFuture’ with which the newspaper opened the front page. He’s also regaining his old spirits of denial in the face of the coronavirus, explaining that the governor “didn’t have to shut down his state, but he did, unlike other Republican governors.”
For the second time in two days, the tycoon recalls getting better data in the state in the presidential election than his potential competitor in this latest election and, unusually, attributes his win to the Florida sun. “He has the advantage of the sun, where the people of the poorly-governed states of the north would go, no matter who the governor was,” said the former president, who also takes some credit for the support he gave De Santis in 2018. gave.
In addition, he states that he was “politically dead” at the time and turned to him for his help “desperately”. Just as he slipped in an interview on Tuesday’s Election Day, Trump is warning that if the governor attends the presidential election, it is almost certain that compromising information about his past will emerge. “I’ll tell you things about him myself that won’t be very flattering. I know more about him than anyone, except his wife. She’s the one leading her campaign,” he concludes, referring to DeSantis’ habit of discussing any initiative at home with his family before making a decision.
And as Trump vents his frustrations, the leaders of his party and the Democratic Party prepare for a blood-curdling weekend. Election officials in Arizona and Nevada believe the result of the more than 600,000 ballots pending recount in the two states will hopefully end early Monday morning. Control of the Senate depends on them, and on what happens in December in Georgia during the second round of elections. The two parties have 48 seats in the Senate and those three seats will determine the ultimate leadership.
Democratic candidates must win at least two states to run the Senate. They hope their candidate Mark Kelly continues as Arizona census leader and current Catherine Cortez regain support in Nevada, where she still stands behind her Republican opponent Adam Laxalt. Conservatives expect the opposite: Laxat remains in the lead in Nevada and Blake Masters overtakes Mark Kelly in Arizona. A victory for the Democrats is paramount for Joe Biden’s parliament. Given the eventual loss of control of Congress, retaining the Senate would at least allow him to nominate positions in the administration and the judiciary.
Civil servants have long working days. During day and night shifts, workers in Arizona still have 570,000 ballots to review. One of the reasons for the delay lies in the copious amount of votes Americans have deposited in advance in areas like these, where many would rather not wait for the end due to the threat of potential incidents Trump has been spreading for weeks. The most transparent example is Maricopa County, with a population of 4.4 million, which has received as many as 300,000 ballots in the mail. In Nevada, meanwhile, the volume is down: officials have yet to register about 60,000 ballots, although they can continue to receive votes delivered to the postal service until tomorrow, Saturday, before Election Day.
The form of voting has its importance in this story. The census in the rest of the country shows that Democrats have more voters among those who mail their votes, while Republicans prefer to vote at the ballot box, perhaps because of Trump’s warnings that the postal system is fraudulent. can become. In fact, everything can be manipulated for him… except his successes.
