A voter in Iowa pressed Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis on Wednesday over why he hasn’t directly “gone after” former President Trump, citing DeSantis’s falling poll numbers.
The voter, in the audience of a campaign stop in Waukee, Iowa, asked DeSantis, “One, why haven’t you gone directly after him [Trump]? Your polls are down. He’s up really —”
DeSantis, also the governor of Florida interjected, “What do you mean by going directly after?”
“In my viewpoint, you’ve gone pretty soft on him,” the voter replied.
They’ve been campaigning to be Trump’s VP pick all this time.
The joke’s on them, though: I think he will pick Elise Stefanik. She’s the only Republican who has ruined more Universities than he has.
I think he will either pick Kari Lake or Vivek Ramaswamy. I think he personally wants Vivek based on how he keeps saying what a great guy Vivek is and because he “doesn’t like losers,” but I am guessing Kari Lake is being pushed hard as what I am sure they think of as “competition” with Kamala Harris for women’s votes.
We all know that Trump won’t make that decision until the last minute, likely swayed by the last person to talk to him. But if Trump is told he needs to pick a woman, he would go with Stefanik over Lake. Stefanik hasn’t lost an election, has stood up for him in Congress, and most importantly, is around Ivanka’s age (a bit younger even), so is more likely to be his “type”…
Maybe he’ll make a reality show that all the networks will kill to buy.
