Donald Trump had better watch out. Ron DeSantis just got a lot stronger.
The growing tension between Republican kingmaker and former protege is not new. Both are rumored to be seeking the 2024 presidential nomination, and Trump is expected to announce his candidacy soon.
In the Tuesday elections, DeSantis reigned supreme, securing a historic win and carrying Democratic stronghold Miami-Dade County. That’s no small feat in Florida. But what makes DeSantis a threat to Trump isn’t only his near 20-point victory. It’s also that Trump had a less stellar night.
