Don v Ron: It's ON! DeSantis finally breaks his silence to take a shot at Trump by telling him to 'check out the scoreboard from Tuesday night' - hours before ex-President's big announcement at Mar-a-Lago

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dismissed Donald Trump's recent spate of angry attacks against him as 'noise' and touted his own strong election record in the 2022 midterms during a press conference on Tuesday.

DeSantis fired back at the former president hours before Trump is expected to announce another campaign for the White House at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday night.

It's the latest hit in the two GOP giants' Sunshine State turf war, and a larger fight for control of the Republican Party.

DeSantis has enraged Trump by refusing to rule out a primary challenge against him in 2024. The former president has responded by calling the governor 'disloyal,' 'average' and 'Ron DeSanctimonious' amid a flurry of other insults.

Asked about that criticism on Tuesday, DeSantis suggested he was unfazed - but went out of his way to target 'the corporate media' more directly than the former president.

'When you're leading, when you're getting things done, yeah you take incoming fire - that's just the nature of it,' DeSantis said.

'I roll out of bed in the morning, I've got corporate media outlets just having a spasm over the fact that I'm getting up in the morning. And it's constantly attacking, and this is just what's happened.'

Voter Fraud is still in play in the Swing States. What you going to do about it?

I am wondering about that. He stayed silent for some time while Trump kept attacking him. Thus, I wonder why prompted him to finally respond.

“Someone should tell Ron that Tuesday was an “engineered election”, crafted for the very Narrative in the headline.

If he was bright, he’d know that.”

Engineered by DeSantis. We are taking the house due to DeSantis.

I see DeSantis hasn’t announced he is running.

Just jumping on the deep state bandwagon doesn’t win authentic votes, though it may win deep state harvested and mail-in votes.

Time will tell.

Wish someone would do a one word thread, Trump or DeSantis. One word only.

We used to have a feature - a survey type feature.

I will take a flier: Trump will run as a third party candidate. I hope I’m wrong.

DeSantis is goodlooking, and his wife is a knockout!

Hollywood has all the truly ugly people these days.

Absolutely no attack against Trump in his statement.
Rubes who don’t read the article salivated over a misleading headline.
