The former president made the criticism when he met with reporters at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday, CNN writes. Trump described DeSantis as “desperate” when he came to ask for Trump’s support in the 2017 election. DeSantis’ landslide victory in the gubernatorial election this year has caused many to ask whether he will run for president in two years. DeSantis has responded that he will concentrate on the election this year. – That is not the right answer, says Trump. In a written statement on Thursday, he blamed DeSantis for being a fake team and for playing a game.

The ex-president has hinted for a long time that he will stand in the presidential election in 2024, but has not yet confirmed this clearly. Campaigning for Republicans in Ohio on Monday, he announced that he will make “a very big announcement” on November 15. Counting continues in Nevada and Arizona It is still not clear which party will win Congress in the USA. In the House of Representatives, the Republicans are likely to get a narrow majority. In the Senate, it is still completely open. There are three seats still undecided, and the Republicans must win two of them to gain control. Tonight, the standings stand at 49 seats for the Republicans and 48 for the Democrats. If the Democrats secure two, they will have a majority when the vice-president’s extra vote is taken into account. Allegations of election fraud In Arizona, there are still several hundred thousand votes that have not been counted in Maricopa County, which is the most populous in the state. Many of them are postal votes. And all ballots must be checked by a Republican and a Democrat before they are approved. It takes time. The result from Arizona will probably not be clear until Sunday. Gubernatorial candidate and Trump supporter Kari Lake has already complained that the count is running far too late. She said before the election that she would not accept the election result if she lost. Supporters have sent out a picture on social media which will show that Lake’s rival, the Democrat Katie Hobbs, has secured a place in a secret room where the votes are counted. The Board of Elections in Maricopa has rejected the claim from the Lake camp. The head of the election board in Maricopa, Bill Gates, says that the photo shows an election observer who was legally present.

Franklin / AP In Nevada, there are still postal votes that have not been counted, and the outcome could swing, even if the Republicans are now in the best position. In Georgia, it is already clear that there will be a re-election on 6 December. None of the candidates received more than 50 percent of the vote, so who wins will have to wait.
