No One Ganged Up on DeSantis

Washington Post: “A memo from a super PAC supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that leaked last week advised DeSantis — who has the second-highest support behind Trump in almost all polls — on how to handle the expected attacks from his rivals during the debate.”

“But those attacks mostly never came. At times, he seemed like almost a non-factor in the debate — a dynamic that underscored how far he’s fallen since he was seen as the biggest threat to Trump following his overwhelming 2022 reelection victory in Florida.”

New York Times: “Rivals mostly ignored him, despite his status as the polling leader on the stage. It was a surprising turn of events that allowed Mr. DeSantis to make his own points without interruption or interrogation.”
