Ron DeSantis backed deep cuts to Social Security and Medicare while in Congress. Trump is ready to hammer him for it ahead of 2024.https://www.yahoo.com/news/ron-desantis-backed-deep-cuts-110100597.html
It seems everyone wants to go after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump took shots at him just this week, even though the popular Republican governor has yet to announce a presidential campaign.
These early attempts to define DeSantis also underline how one of this biggest liabilities may be his past as a rank-and-file conservative in Congress before his meteoric rise as a Purple state governor. The frequent Fox News guest is popular with some of Trump's populist base.
Even a brief review of DeSantis' record showcases the vulnerabilities that could lie ahead.
