Gov. Ron DeSantis told Fox News that the “swamp got worse’ when Donald Trump was in the White House.
Said DeSantis: “I give him credit, even though we’re competing, for the great things he did do. But one of the things he did not do was drain the swamp. I mean, the swamp got worse in his four years.”
He added that Trump “had people in power who were not getting the job done.”
