The View declares DeSantis’s 2024 campaign ‘DOA’ due to poor poll ratings.
The View Co-Hosts Criticize Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Struggling Presidential Campaign
The co-hosts of The View have once again taken aim at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), this time focusing on his lackluster 2024 presidential run that has failed to gain traction among Republican voters.
“His campaign is dead on arrival. I mean, this guy is on political life support. It’s just nobody has had the compassion and mercy to actually pull the plug,” said Ana Navarro, one of the hosts of the talk show.
Navarro’s scathing remarks come as former President Donald Trump, who is seeking reelection, continues to dominate the polls, leaving DeSantis far behind, even four months after the Florida governor announced his presidential bid.
DeSantis’s Struggles and Criticism
Navarro expressed her satisfaction with DeSantis’s struggling campaign, citing his performance as governor of Florida as a reason for her lack of support.
“He’s been awful in Florida,” Navarro stated.
Alyssa Farah Griffin, another co-host, echoed Navarro’s sentiments, labeling DeSantis as the most overrated politician in the country. Griffin also criticized DeSantis for taking a divisive approach in his campaign.
“He decided to go a completely bigoted route, a completely, frankly, leaning into racial divide route,” Griffin said.
Griffin’s comments were in reference to the Florida Board of Education’s controversial decision to revise the state’s black history curriculum, which received backlash from both Democrats and Republicans.
DeSantis’s Declining Poll Numbers
Recent polls in the battleground state of New Hampshire have shown DeSantis’s popularity plummeting. He currently sits in fifth place with only 10% support, trailing behind Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie.
These disappointing poll results are a stark contrast to previous predictions that positioned DeSantis as a formidable challenger and alternative to Trump.
Furthermore, other polling data for the 2024 presidential election indicates that Trump remains a strong contender. He leads President Joe Biden by 4 points, with 44% of respondents favoring Trump compared to Biden’s 40%. When pitted against Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump performs slightly better, securing 46% of the vote against Harris’s 40%.
It seems that DeSantis has a long way to go if he hopes to gain the support and momentum necessary for a successful presidential campaign.
Why has DeSantis failed to position himself as the heir to Trump’s political legacy and find his own distinct message that resonates with Republican voters?
Te the Republican field. Despite DeSantis’s efforts to align himself with Trump and gain support from his base, he has struggled to make a significant impact in the race.
The co-hosts of The View expressed their disappointment in DeSantis’s campaign, highlighting the fact that he has failed to gain traction among Republican voters, despite his high profile as the governor of Florida. They also noted that his lackluster performance in the polls, coupled with his inability to stand out among a crowded field of candidates, has left his campaign on life support.
DeSantis’s attempt to position himself as the heir to Trump’s political legacy has fallen flat, with many Republican voters seemingly more interested in Trump himself than any potential successors. This has left DeSantis struggling to find his own identity and distinct message that resonates with voters.
The co-hosts also criticized DeSantis for what they perceive as his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Florida. They pointed to his controversial decisions regarding mask mandates, vaccine distribution, and overall approach to the crisis as reasons why voters may be hesitant to support him.
DeSantis’s struggles on the national stage are in stark contrast to his popularity in his home state of Florida. As governor, he has garnered support for his conservative policies, including tax cuts, economic growth, and efforts to combat illegal immigration. However, these accomplishments have not translated into success on the national political scene.
While the co-hosts of The View were highly critical of DeSantis’s struggling presidential campaign, it is important to note that their opinions represent just one perspective. There are undoubtedly supporters of DeSantis who believe in his leadership and potential as a presidential candidate.
Ultimately, the fate of DeSantis’s campaign will be determined by Republican voters across the country. It remains to be seen whether he can overcome his current challenges and build the momentum needed to become a viable candidate in the 2024 presidential race. Until then, the co-hosts of The View and other political commentators will continue to scrutinize and debate the ups and downs of his campaign.
