DeSantis shrugs off Trump poll lead in Japan: ‘I’m not a candidate’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to announce his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination in a matter of days, deflected a reporter’s question Monday when asked about a series of polls showing him lagging former President Donald Trump.

“Governor, polls show you falling behind Trump. Any thoughts on that?” an English-speaking reporter asked DeSantis during a press conference in Tokyo.

“I’m not a candidate, so we’ll see if and when that changes,” the 44-year-old said. Footage of the exchange aired by CNN appeared to be edited to show the governor struggling for a response to the question.

DeSantis reportedly has said he intends to launch a White House run later this year, with an announcement expected sometime after the Florida legislative session wraps up May 5.

Not really

The only way it’s a troll is if he really isn’t running. None of his actions back that notion

Maybe he is just waiting for Trump to finish himself off before announcing. Pretty sad what Trump is doing. He really did some great things when he was president. He seems to have lost it.
