Trump: DeSantis a ‘Fine Guy,’ but He Could ‘Hurt Himself Very Badly’ by Running in 2024

Former President Trump said if he formally announces a 2024 White House bid and is re-elected, he would return to the nation’s capital with experience and a new perspective, without having to rely on Washington insiders, and would build on his “unbeatable” America First record.

The former president sat for a wide-ranging interview on Trump Force One, a Boeing 757, Monday night with Fox News Digital and four other reporters after teasing during a rally in Dayton, Ohio that he plans make a “major” announcement from Mar-a-Lago on Nov.15, likely regarding the launch of his possible third presidential campaign. . .

Before that though, Trump is calling for a GOP leadership change in Congress, specifically pointing to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He also warned potential Republican presidential candidates, like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, against running against him in 2024, saying it would not “be good for the party.”

Reflecting on his administration from 2017 to 2021 and people he tapped to serve in top cabinet posts, Trump said, “I never did this before.”

“Part of the problem was that I wasn’t a Washington person,” Trump said. “You have to rely on people — I had a lot of great people, but I had to rely on people who were RINOs.” (Read more from “Trump: DeSantis a ‘Fine Guy,’ but He Could ‘Hurt Himself Very Badly’ by Running in 2024” HERE)
