Ron DeSantis was a non-factor as Republicans piled on Vivek Ramaswamy, instead.
Largely ignored for two hours by his lower-polling rivals on Wednesday, the Florida governor watched as the first debate of the GOP primary turned into a pile on Vivek Ramaswamy, the 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur rising in polls.
Ron DeSantis’ team, for what it’s worth, was thrilled he wasn’t the one under fire , following two months straight of negative headlines, disappointing polling and much more scrutiny and criticism than the rest of the field. Wednesday night didn’t fix all of DeSantis’ problems. But if he does end up back on his feet, it will be a big reason why.
The Fox News moderators, on the other hand, didn’t have a great night. They failed to get clear answers on some questions. Candidates often ignored when their time to speak was up. And at times, the audience’s cheers and boos overwhelmed the candidates’ responses.Here’s the nice thing about a low bar: It’s easy to clear it. The narrative around DeSantis has been so atrocious for so long that it was kind of surprising that he didn’t choke tonight.
