.RonDeSantis is burnishing his conservative credentials as he tries to differentiate himself from Trump. However, DeSantis's supporters are hoping history does not repeat itself after TedCruz adopted a similar approach in 2016 and lost the nomination.
However, DeSantis's supporters are hoping history does not repeat itself after Sen. Ted Cruz adopted a similar approach to the 2016 primary and won Iowa but not the nomination.Cruz did not run to Trump's right, but he is"simply" more conservative than the former president, according to University of Iowa professor Timothy Hagle.
Now, Hagle contends Trump has"moved to the left" on topics including abortion and COVID-19, citing his criticism of Florida's six-week abortion ban and his praise of former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's pandemic management over that of DeSantis. "It seems like he's running to the left," he said last month."But I can tell you, you don't win nationally by moving to the left. You win nationally by standing for bold policies. We showed that in Florida. I never watered down anything I did. I never contorted myself to be something I'm not. I went out there and told the truth. People knew where I stood, and they responded in record fashion.
