On Thursday night, Newsmax presenter Eric Bolling asked Mr. DeSantis whether he would think about being Mr. Trump's vice presidential contender. The governor declined.
Mr. DeSantis remarked, "I think I'm definitely more of an executive guy. "I believe you desire the capacity to act. The fact that we have action is one of the reasons I took this job. We can move things forward, and I believe that is probably my strongest suit.
After Mr. DeSantis won re-election in Florida by over 20 points last year and many of Mr. Trump's supported candidates lost in the 2022 midterm elections, many conservatives anticipated he would challenge the former president.
In response to Mr. DeSantis's rising popularity, Mr. Trump has repeatedly called him "Ron DeSanctimonious" and tried out various slurs on him.
The governor has mostly shrugged off Mr. Trump's jabs in the past, but this week he made a casual remark about the possibility of an indictment against the former president for reportedly paying adult film actress Stormy Daniels to remain silent about a sexual encounter.
"Look, I have no idea what goes into paying a porn star hush money to ensure silence regarding some sort of alleged affair. This week, Mr. DeSantis stated, "I can't respond to that.
Many of Mr. Trump's supporters, as well as the former president himself, reacted angrily to this and implied that Mr. DeSantis might one day be the subject of lewd allegations. The former president also posted a picture of a young Mr. DeSantis drinking with students while he was a teacher at a prestigious school.
When Ron DeSanctimonious is unfairly and illegally attacked by a lady, even one of his classmates who is 'underage' (or possibly a male! ), he will likely learn about FALSE ACCUSATIONS & FAKE STORIES as he gets older, wiser, and better recognized. Like me, I'm certain he'll want to take on these outcasts. On Truth Social, Mr. Trump posted.
