Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has launched an attack ad targeting former President Donald Trump’s claim that he hired the best people during his tenure in the White House. The 30-second video montage showcases individuals Trump chose to work with during his four years in office, despite his recent pledge to only surround himself with “great, strong” individuals if he wins a third term in 2024. The ad concludes with the statement, “Trump has learned nothing.”
The video includes images of Trump alongside Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, both leaders of the White House’s COVID-19 response team. These individuals have faced criticism from Republicans who argue that Trump was misled into implementing overly restrictive lockdown measures. DeSantis, on the other hand, became well-known for his handling of the pandemic in Florida, which involved reopening schools and businesses sooner than other states.
Notably, DeSantis’s campaign also highlights other figures Trump had chosen to work with, such as Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley, former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell. The ad also features an image of Trump with Kim Kardashian, who successfully advocated for the commutation of a marijuana law violator’s sentence during her visit to the Oval Office.
Although DeSantis is considered one of the strongest contenders among the 13 Republican presidential hopefuls, he still trails behind Trump in polls by approximately 20 points. However, he has begun targeting Trump’s record and reaching out to voters in deep Trump country as he seeks to persuade them to switch their support in the 2024 election.
