Dem Sen. Bob Menendez’s Daughter and David Jolly Want You to Know that DeSantis Is Worse than Trump

EXCERPT:

JOLLY: "Well, so, listen, all of this happens linearly in a campaign, right, and so the analysis a month ago may not be the analysis now, and part of that is because we are seeing Donald Trump actually begin to run a real campaign. He's had a strong month and now this question of the indictment is galvanizing support for him. So, what does Ron DeSantis do? And I think Ashley's correction is right. It wasn't so much cleanup as it was resetting the news cycle around Ron DeSantis. He didn’t like that news cycle of being the person that has stayed silent, so now he had to get out there and do one thing, which was talk about his MAGA credentials, at least. He had his culture wars, primarily, in the state of Florida. And that is the strategy and has been informed. We saw it in Pennsylvania. There was a Senate candidate that started to emerge at the very end against Oz, Kathy Barnett, and Donald Trump hit her hard and said, 'No, no, don’t go for Kathy Barnett, go for Oz,' and her response was, 'MAGA doesn’t belong to one person, it belongs to all of us.' And it’s actually a way to embrace Donald Trump and then celebrate your loyalty and fealty to it and your success at delivering, and this is where Ron DeSantis has a good argument for Republicans. He’s delivered more cruelty than Donald Trump, and that could be his pathway to the nomination."

MENENDEZ: "What an argument that is."
