Former US President Donald Trump mocked his direct rival, Ron DeSantis, who is fighting for the Republican nomination, writing: standard. As Index already wrote, DeSantis can’t live up to the initial hype. While he was on the brink of a confrontation with Donald Trump in January, he has already lagged by 37 percentage points since the official launch of his campaign.
Speaking at the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, Trump told the Daily Mail:
Not many people showed up at his house (in DeSantis – ed.). This is not good. It performed very poorly in the polls. very bad. And I think he’ll be out of the race soon.
Trump later told the Sunday Times that he was 100% certain he would defeat Joe Biden in the national election. This comes after a US judge warned Trump against making inflammatory remarks that might “taint the jury” ahead of his trial on charges of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Trump has been charged with a crime and therefore should expect restrictions, Tanya Chutkan said at a 90-minute hearing in Washington.
The fact that the accused is involved in a political campaign gives him no more or less latitude
he added.
