2024 as well. desantis is at a duelling event for the club for growth, one of the top spenders in republican politics that s at odds with trump. president trump is not doing himself any favors when he attacks governor desantis. one, desantis hasn t gotten in the race yet. trump may find he s going to lose support if he continues on the path of attacking desantis. i would recommend one thing, take the ronald reagan approach, don t talk bad about republicans. does that change your mind about him at all? no, but settle down, mr. president. reporter: but even with the interest in a desantis candidacy, there s still a lot of questions about what a path to a republican nomination looks like for anyone not named donald trump. thank you, ladies, appreciate it. you know, we love ron desantis, amazing guy, we need him as our number two to support donald trump. he and donald trump would be an amazing team. reporter: and china s rubber
