.GovRonDeSantis’s defense of Donald Trump after news broke of his indictment is expected to ease tensions between the GOP rivals. DeSantis has mostly refrained from firing back at Trump, whose attacks have painted DeSantis as part of the 'establishment.'
“It’s almost a little bit of a unifier right now,” said one Florida GOP operative as the two Republican leaders orient their fire at the elected Democrats prosecuting Trump. “There’s a pause on the beating up of each other. How long does that pause last? I don’t know.”Republicans have largely rallied behind Trump after his indictment by a grand jury in Manhattan in a hush money case. The news marked the first time a former president has been hit with criminal charges.
That pushback from Trump’s closest followers is to be expected, but DeSantis is targeting a broader audience, the operative said. However, one operative said it would likely prove effective by inoculating the governor against criticism that he had not sufficiently defended the former president. Trump is set to be arraigned on Tuesday.
