What the Manhattan DA office taught us about a Trump vs. DeSantis 2024 contest
W. James Antle III
Whatever Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg does next, he has, through the reports of a coming indictment, revealed how former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) would handle each other in a 2024 Republican primary campaign.
DeSantis quickly pushed back against the possible indictment on the merits, though not volubly enough for Trump’s strongest supporters, while at the same time subtly restating the case against the former president’s fitness for the nomination.
Trump immediately struck back, reconsidered it, and then escalated his attacks against DeSantis even further still.
