– Ron would not have been governor without me. “When I hear that he’s considering running, I think that’s very disloyal,” Trump told reporters Saturday. He is talking about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The 44-year-old Republican was helped by Trump in the election campaign in 2018. Now the popular governor is in the process of building a staff with a view to launching a presidential election campaign to challenge his old mentor, according to what news knows. Ron DeSantis (44) was sworn in for his second term as governor of Florida earlier in January after last year’s landslide election. Here more wife Casey and children.

Anne Badgely has taken her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren to the state assembly in South Carolina where they have been given tickets to the former president’s first campaign event in this important state. The Badgely family gathered at a Trump meeting in 2016. The grandchildren remember little of that, and therefore grandmother Anne has taken them on a Saturday excursion to Trump’s campaign launch. Trump has the support of both Governor Henry McMaster and Senator Lindsay Graham who stood with him on stage on Saturday. Anne Badgely is certainly also still on board. – Trump is one of the best presidents in our history. Obviously we support him. Otherwise, we would have been stupid, she says. – Trump is still president Bob Roach has not received a ticket to the event. But he has still put on his T-shirt, which is wallpapered with pictures of his great hero. – Trump is still president, says Bob Roach, who still believes the 2020 election was stolen from the Republicans.

And at some point it will be revealed to the American people, he says. – How will it happen? – Via the military. Trump knows more than he says. Not everyone in the military knows what is going to happen, says Roach. There are many here who believe in this type of conspiracy theory. Many challengers Trump is a lone swallow as a presidential candidate for 2024 so far. Some polls show him leading a hypothetical field of candidates. But the challengers are many, and it may take months before the field becomes larger. In South Carolina, Trump’s own former UN ambassador Nikki Haley has already told her former boss that she is considering challenging him. Nikki Haley with President Trump in the White House in 2018. Now she has informed him that she is considering challenging him in 2024.

But they are all more moderate than Trump. Think only 20 percent want Trump – I think only around 20 percent of the party are serious Trump supporters now, says Terry Slease. The retired lawyer has a long career behind him as a donor and otherwise behind the scenes in the Republican Party. In 2016, he participated in a series made by news. He was a Trump supporter then, but now he has long since had enough. – No, I don’t think Trump will become president again. If he is nominated, I don’t think we will win. His personality has really ruined him for the past four years. Slease left Trump after storming Congress in 2021 and likes Ron DeSantis when he thinks about the 2024 election. Terry Slease in Charleston, South Carolina is tired of Trump’s narcissism and was not at his campaign launch this weekend Photo: Tove Bjørgaas / news – What happened with your relationship with Trump? – I think his politics were phenomenal, but his selfish narcissism destroyed his image and the denial of the election. Slease believes many in the party deep down understand where it is headed. – I think many in the party feel the same way as me. Republicans need to win. We need a candidate like DeSantis, Haley or Pompeo to win the election in 2024. Those who sell Trump effects are looking forward to another election campaign in South Carolina.
