ATLANTA, Georgia — Former President Donald Trump wants to relitigate 2020. Democrats (and Jack Smith in particular) want to relitigate 2020. And the losers are Republicans, who cannot win a presidential election by staying in the past.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said as much at a political event hosted by radio host Erick Erickson on Friday. The presidential hopeful has his own reasons for taking shots at Trump, the front-runner in the Republican primary, but he’s right: If the GOP sticks with the 45th president, it’s sure to lose.On the stage with Erickson, DeSantis blasted Trump for his refusal to commit to joining the Republican presidential primary debate in Milwaukee this coming Wednesday.
Trump may think he’s too big to fail , and his reluctance to debate his opponents reveals either an overabundance of ego or a lack of confidence. But DeSantis shied away from criticizing Trump too harshly, merely presenting himself as the sane alternative willing to engage with his peers. The Florida governor then brought up the 2020 election, saying that “looking backwards” won’t fix the border or rein in federal agencies, and the Republican Party’s message going into 2024 should be holding President Joe Biden accountable for his failures.
Trump’s playbook, which includes viciously attacking any opponent or former ally in sight, is a gift to Democrats: Election fraud claims may continue to rally his base, but they put him at odds with the majority of the country.
