I believe his response was terrible! Not only did he wait several days for his handlers to help him figure out what say (unlike Vivek R.), he whined about how busy he is (after he just took a book tour and will be continuing to travel to sell his book) and took a low swipe at Trump. It was not the time or place to bring up Stormy Daniels. They can spar back and forth the rest of the time, but this was the moment for DeSantis to look like a statesman and say that this is much bigger than Trump. The Dems' endgame is for this to happen to every one of us, and if they can do this to their greatest political opponent, the game is over for all of us. It sounded like a very canned answer, and I am really disappointed. I've loved what he's done as governor, but I heard that as a congressman, he was actually very establishment in his foreign policy, and many feel his new Ukraine War stance is simply a sign that the Republican wind is blowing against the war. I hoped that DeSantis would be a great candidate if not now, then in 2028. But I just don't trust him now. I've heard about all the billionaires like Ken Griffin that are behind him, and now I'm hearing that Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, and Karl Rove are working as consultants. Unless something changes drastically to win my trust, I cannot support him anymore.

I hadn’t heard any of that - I just got a small sound bite of what he said...this is disappointing to hear, maybe he just needs to stay in Florida 🙄
