Both president trump and also governor desantis have much of the stale, same style and that appeals to some. i think you can combine being a fighter for conservative causes with having respect for our constitution, having respect for the conservative cause, and also for our country. and so, i think as time goes on, it is very, very early. as time goes on, voters are going to focus on who can actually win in a november election and who can also help bring our country together. and who has the experience to lead on fentanyl. who has the experience to lead on our border crisis. on balancing the budget? on constraining the growth of the federal government and being a strong america? these are cases i want to bring. i like the fact we ve gone up in the polls we hope to continue to rise. governor, it s interesting
