DeSantis confident in outperforming Trump against RFK Jr.
Gov. Ron DeSantis Predicts Stronger Performance Against RFK Jr. in General Election
During a recent campaign stop in New Hampshire, Gov. Ron DeSantis expressed confidence in his ability to outperform former President Donald Trump in a general election, particularly against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential campaign. DeSantis sees Kennedy as a potential threat, as he could attract anti-lockdown and anti-Dr. Anthony Fauci voters if Trump becomes the nominee.
However, DeSantis believes that if he secures the nomination, those voters will rally behind him due to his strong stance against Fauci and his commitment to reforming the CDC. DeSantis sees himself as the vessel for people seeking accountability for the government’s handling of COVID-19.
Trump and Biden Tied in Recent Poll
A recent poll conducted by USA Today/Suffolk University showed a tie between Trump and President Joe Biden, with each receiving 37% of the vote. This tie was partly attributed to Kennedy’s independent bid, which drew twice as many Republican voters as Democrats. Kennedy garnered 13% support in the survey. Without Kennedy in the race, Trump would have had a slight advantage over Biden, leading 41% to 39%.
DeSantis believes that voters critical of Trump’s COVID-19 policies are the ones most likely to switch their support to Kennedy. He criticizes Trump for his handling of the pandemic and argues that these frustrated voters will seek a candidate who represents their desire for accountability.
DeSantis Confident in His Ability to Hold Accountable
DeSantis reassures voters that he will be the candidate who holds the government accountable for its actions during the pandemic. He vows to clean out the CDC and address the mistakes and lies that were made without any consequences.
Trump’s campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, responded to DeSantis’ remarks with strong criticism, calling him uninformed.
Kennedy, who initially ran for the Democratic Party’s nomination, switched to an independent bid. The recent poll suggests that Kennedy’s candidacy is more detrimental to the Republican presidential candidate than to Biden.
Biden also faces competition from progressive activist Cornel West, who is running as an independent. However, West has not gained the same level of support as Kennedy and therefore does not pose as significant a threat to Biden.
How does Ron DeSantis believe his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic will resonate with voters?
Tis remains confident in his ability to appeal to a wide range of voters and believes that his strong track record as governor of Florida will set him apart from his opponents. With a focus on policies that support economic growth, enhance public safety, and protect individual freedoms, DeSantis believes he has a winning formula for success.
One key factor that DeSantis emphasizes in his potential matchup against Kennedy is his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. As governor, DeSantis implemented a balanced approach, prioritizing both public health and the economy. He believes that this approach will resonate with voters who are seeking a leader who can navigate the complexities of a global crisis while still safeguarding individual liberties.
In addition to his pandemic response, DeSantis touts his administration’s accomplishments in other areas such as education, criminal justice reform, and environmental conservation. By highlighting these achievements, DeSantis hopes to appeal to a broad range of voters from different backgrounds and ideologies.
Furthermore, DeSantis recognizes that his support for traditional conservative values and limited government intervention aligns with the preferences of many Republican voters. He believes that these principles, coupled with his ability to effectively communicate his vision for the future, will make him a strong contender in any general election scenario.
While acknowledging the popularity and influence of former President Donald Trump, DeSantis remains confident that his own political acumen and governing experience will distinguish him from his predecessor. He believes that his record of accomplishment as governor will resonate with voters who are searching for a leader with a proven track record of delivering results.

Kennedy’s views on issues such as lockdowns and the role of Dr. Anthony Fauci may attract voters who are dissatisfied with the current political landscape. DeSantis recognizes this challenge and aims to address it by continuing to articulate his own unique vision for the future of America.
In conclusion, Gov. Ron DeSantis remains confident in his ability to outperform former President Donald Trump in a general election, particularly against potential competitor Robert F. Kennedy Jr. With a strong track record as governor and a focus on policies that promote economic growth, public safety, and individual freedoms, DeSantis believes he can appeal to a diverse range of voters. While aware of the potential threat posed by Kennedy’s independent campaign, DeSantis remains steadfast in his belief that his own political acumen and record of accomplishment will set him apart. As the election season unfolds, it will be fascinating to see how this potential matchup plays out and which candidate will ultimately emerge as the victor.
