Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tore into 2024 Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday over the former president’s habit of name-calling, saying the trait was “one of the reasons he’s not in the White House now.”
“I think it’s so petty. I think it’s so juvenile. I don’t think that’s what voters want,” DeSantis, 44, told New Hampshire radio host Jack Heath on the second full day of his post-campaign launch tour of early voting states.
“And honestly, I think that his conduct — which he’s been doing for years now — I think that’s one of the reasons he’s not in the White House now, because I think he alienated too many voters for things that really don’t matter,” the governor went on. “So I don’t get in the gutter on any of that.”
