"DeSantis Criticizes Trump's Indictments for Impact on GOP Race"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis believes that the indictments against former President Donald Trump have distorted the Republican presidential race, contributing to Trump's dominance and DeSantis's decline in the polls. DeSantis argues that the charges have rallied Republican voters around Trump, while also crowding out other issues. Despite the impact of the indictments, DeSantis's slide in the polls can also be attributed to controversies surrounding his policies, such as the "don't say gay" bill and strict abortion laws. As the race progresses, DeSantis faces growing competition from Nikki Haley, particularly in New Hampshire. DeSantis remains uncertain about Trump's chances in the general election, expressing confidence in his own ability to win.
