Fox News’s Bret Baier assessed that the 2024 Republican primary will have to experience an earth-shaking development for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) to surpass former President Donald Trump.
Baier joined America Reports to react to the news that DeSantis will officially join the 2024 presidential race in an upcoming Twitter Spaces event with Elon Musk. The Special Report anchor began with a nod to Fox contributor Karl Rove, who spoke before him about how Trump currently leads the GOP — adding things could change as the race goes on.
As Baier spoke about how President Joe Biden seems to anticipate a rematch with Trump, he noted the reality that Trump still “overwhelmingly” tops DeSantis in the polls.
“Something has to change dramatically,” Baier said. “There may be events that we don’t know. There may be other legal challenges that [Trump] faces. There may be other things that happen. But there has to be a significant movement to change the dynamic. Right now former President Trump controls the environment, he controls the base, and he controls the messaging.”
Baier did acknowledge, on the other hand, that Trump has been fuming at DeSantis for months and spending money on attack ads against him.
“You don’t do that unless you consider that person a threat,” Baier said. “And tomorrow, he officially — DeSantis does — gets into this race and potentially could be a threat to the not-Trump group of candidates who are trying to be the alternative.”

We feel USED!!!!
You, and the rest of your ilk, are just so tiresome. You’re going to have “THEY CHEATED!” carved on your tombstone. It’s all you have. You have no leg to stand on, so you just stomp your feet and yell. It’s pathetic.
Those words would apply to you perfectly.
Again. No debate. No retort to my original post that Trump is backing Disney or that the people who voted against Trump in 2020 will not come back and vote for him in 2024. Just insults. It’s all you have. Just like your savior that you worship. Sad.
I know RFK Jr will not be allowed to be the Dem nominee - just as Trump will not be allowed to be the GOP nominee.
This is going to create a very interesting situation.
“So you think that Trump taking Disney’s side in their feud with DeSantis will help Trump with Republicans? Hmm.
And you also want me to believe the people who voted for Trump in 2016 and then did NOT vote for him in 2020 will now go back and vote for him in 2024? Hmmmmmm.”
Trump got 10 million MORE votes in 2020 than he did in 2016. You must be disappointed or delusional. Or both.
Could this mean that Faux News is looking to dump Desantis?
I only applied your very words back to you
Your last sentence was indeed very sad
Oh, so he must be the current President because he got more votes the second time than he did the first! Thanks for setting me straight!
You all just keep proving my point. 2016 was a referendum on Hillary. She lost. 2020 was a referendum on Trump. He lost. 2024 SHOULD be a referendum on Biden, but if it's another referendum on Trump he will lose (yet again). You people are just so dense for not realizing this. Whoever is the focus of the election loses. And you're all just too happy to let it be on Trump again.
Thanks for clarifying your delusions. Billy
Bret Baier continues to disappoint. Lightweight drone, hurting Republicans.
Do you support Disney? Do you like that Trump has attacked DeSantis by defending Disney?
Lol. You people really have nothing except blind loyalty to an NYC billionaire who was a life-long liberal until about 2015. Sheep, all of you.
Oh shut then hell up you pantywaist! Go send some more money to Ron and hope for the best clown. Vote for Biden .....like you did last time. You use the exact same words as a limp wrist liberal. Go fly your flag hunny
Lol
Shes a comedian, was on a couple tv shows
1. I hate to break this to you, but most Americans don’t give a damn about Disney’s moral rot.
2. Trump ran in 2016 as a candidate who had been a Democrat — and a Clinton donor — not long ago. He won the GOP nomination by destroying all the feckless frauds the party establishment trotted out against him.
I think you captured the picture of DeSantis perfectly.
I think Trump has pretty much signaled its going to be Mike Flynn for VP.
