PALM BEACH, Fla. — Donald Trump’s presidential announcement Tuesday included the usual rhetorical targets of China, the news media and President Joe Biden.
One name, however, was conspicuously absent from the former president’s lips: Ron DeSantis.
Saying he wanted to keep the night “elegant,” Trump refrained from mentioning the Republican widely considered his top rival for the GOP presidential nomination, instead training his ire on the incumbent president who defeated him in 2020 and touting himself as the one Republican capable of restoring the country’s greatness.
