Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken a different stance from former President Donald Trump regarding the 2020 presidential election. While campaigning in Iowa, DeSantis directly refuted Trump’s claims of election fraud, stating that “the election is what it is” and that none of the theories put forward by Trump have been proven true (source: Washington Post).
DeSantis did not mention Trump by name, but he did criticize the administration of the election and made baseless accusations of “ballot harvesting” by unnamed election officials. However, he specifically rejected the theory that Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro hacked the voting machines (source: New York Times). DeSantis clarified that while the election was not conducted in the ideal manner, it doesn’t mean votes were stolen by Maduro or anyone else. These theories have been proven unsubstantiated.
Previously, DeSantis has shown support for Trump, stating that he shouldn’t be charged and calling the prosecution politically motivated. However, DeSantis also criticized Trump’s actions during the Capitol attack on January 6th, though he later referred to it as “a dead horse” and a media obsession (source: Washington Post). Despite this, DeSantis still accused the Justice Department of bias in their investigation. Interestingly, DeSantis hinted that he would pardon Trump if convicted.
