Donald Trump was trashed by Ron DeSantis’ team after the ex-president spread a rumor that his rival was set to drop out of the presidential race, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Truth has been attacking DeSantis on his social media platform Truth Social. Earlier this week, he told his followers he heard DeSantis would end his run for the White House and instead take on Rick Scott in a run for senator.
He wrote, “Rumors are strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate. Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?”
DeSantis’ press secretary Bryan Griffin fired back at Trump’s assertion.
Trump, who skipped the debates, saw his lead fall from 56 percent to 50 percent of the vote.
Emerson said the percentage was “the lowest support to date for the former President in Emerson national polls.”
