Ron DeSantis has broken with 70 percent of the Republican base, telling NBC News, “Of course [Trump] lost: Joe Biden’s the President.” The stunning remarks, though caveated with complaints about mail-in voting and ballot harvesting, are unlikely to endear DeSantis to his party’s voters, a majority of whom are already soured by the Florida Governor’s lackluster campaign and toxic online strategies.
DeSantis, who has spent the last two weeks watching some of his chief donors abandon his beleaguered presidential campaign, told NBC News: “Whoever puts their hand on the Bible on Jan. 20 every four years is the winner,” before being pressed for a “yes or no” answer as to whether or not Trump lost.
“No, of course he lost: Joe Biden’s the President,” he shot back, before going on to blame Trump for “turn[ing] the government over to Fauci” and signing the CARES Act which funded mail-in ballot expansion. In reality, the CARES Act was supported by almost every Republican in Congress – a fact which seems to have escaped DeSantis’s attention.
DeSantis is currently projected to lose in every state in the Republican nominee race to Donald Trump and is forecasted just 159 delegates votes, trailing the former President by over 2,000.
