DeSantis' Decline in Polls and Dismissive Memo Highlight GOP Primary Race

A campaign memo from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticizes former President Donald Trump and dismisses other GOP rivals, despite DeSantis trailing Trump in polling and other candidates catching up. The memo highlights Trump's recent controversies and claims that DeSantis is the only candidate who can beat both Biden and Trump. However, DeSantis has consistently trailed Trump in national and state-level polling. The memo does not specify whether DeSantis will directly attack Trump in the upcoming primary debate. Trump's campaign spokesperson called the memo a "desperate cry for help." DeSantis has recently criticized Trump on various issues and expressed disappointment in his decision to skip the debates.
