Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) blamed members of media outlets for his sagging poll numbers that have him far behind former President Trump for the lead for the 2024 Republican nomination.

DeSantis said during an interview on Fox News on Thursday that “corporate media” are focusing on him because they do not want him to win the nomination.

He said his campaign has just started and is in the process of building up its organization, and that his favorability rating is strong and he expects to be able to improve.

No, actually they’re going after us. Trump’s just in their way.

They’re going after Trump more unless I’m mistaken.

Yeah, poor de Santis. It’s a good thing the media likes Trump or his numbers wouldn’t be so high. The media really builds Trump up, don’t they?

Ron, you have been a good governor. Your positions have been solid. Frankly, you are just a bad campaigner and can’t connect with people. Time to look in the mirror.

All candidates think are coming for them. With Trump they actually did target him for destruction and never stopped.

But DeSantis?

DeSantis has a point.
By back-stabbing Trump he should be getting better coverage from the democrap media.
Ingrates.

Simple answer governor. The vast majority of GOP voters have already made up their minds for their choice for president and you’re not it!

What happened to DeSantis is that all the anti-Trump ticks, lice, and leeches flocked to him. He is a haven for anti-Trumpers.

This is not necessarily of DeSantis choosing, but that's the hand he was dealt.

If he’s such a bad campaigner , how did he get reelected as governor in a landslide?

DeSantis - I’m doing poorly because of the media

Trump - I’m doing well, despite the media

Holy crap.. I hope DeSantis is more aware than this seems.
Wait until they indict you Gov Desantis for made up crimes.

What do you mean Ronnie? You have all of the gang at Fox news channel cheering you on. Not good enough, huh?
Maybe we don’t appreciate a good man like DJT being used, lied to and betrayed?
