The Florida governor pointedly contrasted his reelection bid with Trump's as a verdict on their leadership skills.
about Trump’s comments about his handling of covid. The governor insisted that he was used to attacks.“When you’re an elected executive, you have to make all kinds of decisions,” he said. “You’ve got to steer that ship. And the good thing is, is that the people are able to render a judgment on that, whether they reelect you or not.
This isn’t subtle stuff. That “in my case” is particularly sharp, obviously contrasting his victory in 2022 with Trump’s loss in 2020. That Trump refuses to concede his loss will only add to the sting. By itself, the response is effective. Winning election in Florida isn’t entirely apples-to-apples with winning nationally, certainly, but DeSantis, in fact, had no trouble in dispatching his Democratic opponent. If elections are a verdict on leadership, then clearly voters in Florida viewed DeSantis’s leadership more positively than voters nationally viewed Trump’s.
Trump attempted to wave this away with a typically gauzy bit of salesman’s patter: It wasn’t his fault that Republicans lost and, in fact, had they followed his recommendations and embraced him more tightly, they’d have won. It doesn’t seem like many Republicans were convinced. Polling conducted over the course of 2022
