Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently slammed former GOP candidate Nikki Haley after she refused to endorse former President Donald Trump after the suspension of her campaign. This comes as the GOP grapples with its direction and leadership ahead of the 2028 presidential race, post-Donald Trump via Trending Politics News.
It has been noted that Governor DeSantis, who is increasingly viewed as a frontrunner for the GOP’s 2028 nomination, revealed his disapproval during a candid interview with Newsmax.
“Well, first, just on the debate, you know, I was saying that Newsmax should have had a debate. So, I was game for that. The RNC didn’t do that, but yeah, I signed the pledge,” DeSantis responded. “And you sign the pledge saying that you’re going to not take your ball and go home. So, I honored the pledge.”
“She’s gonna have to make a decision about whether she wants to or not, but the idea that somehow circumstances have changed, I think we all knew what we were doing when we did that,” he added.
“You’ve got to make a judgment about whether that’s meaningful to you. And so for me, I tell people, if I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it,” he concluded.
Haley’s refusal to endorse Trump after suspending her own presidential campaign has stirred some debate within the Republican Party. Haley officially ended her presidential run earlier this week, capping a long-shot effort to deny, or at least delay Trump as the party’s nomination.
