‘Threat’ DeSantis says he hopes 2024 rivals attack him at first GOP debate: ‘We’ll hold our own’

Ron DeSantis’ 2024 opponents view him as a “threat” to win the presidency, the Florida governor touted Thursday — and revealed that he hopes his Republican rivals attack him at the first primary debate.

“I hope so,” DeSantis, 44, responded when asked by NewsNation’s Kellie Meyer if he thinks his fellow GOPers will direct barbs at him in Milwaukee on Aug. 23.

“Look, when they’re attacking you, that means you’re over the target. So we’re happy to field that, and we’ll hold our own,” the Sunshine State governor said.

“Because at the end of the day, I am running to actually win the presidency and do all these great things. I don’t have any other motive,” he added.

“I don’t want to get a cable news deal. I am not trying to sell anything, I don’t want a Cabinet post. We’re running, we’re running to win.”

Yet Trump has already started his attacks and has stated that he won't be debating.  What does that tell you?

Based on DeSantis' prior history in Florida, he appears to do well in debates.  Let's hope that history carries through.
