"DeSantis Takes Aim at Trump, Questions His Presidential Effectiveness"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized former President Donald Trump, stating that he would be a "lame duck" president if reelected due to limitations in electability and failure to deliver on core promises. DeSantis highlighted Trump's inability to "drain the swamp" and make Mexico pay for a border wall, as well as his increase in the national debt. Despite trailing Trump in polls for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, DeSantis expressed confidence in his own policy achievements and plans to use the budget reconciliation process to advance his agenda.
