Trump criticizes DeSantis amidst Florida hurricane management.

Former President Donald Trump Takes Aim at Ron DeSantis During Hurricane ⁤Crisis

The state of Florida faced a⁣ major crisis ​as Hurricane ⁣Idalia,⁤ a near-Category ⁣4 storm, caused severe flooding ​and extensive​ damage. ​While​ Governor Ron DeSantis focused on managing the state’s response, former President Donald Trump took the opportunity to criticize him.

Trump, who has been‍ vocal ⁢about his presidential ambitions,⁤ claimed that DeSantis would drop out of ⁤the⁣ race to ⁤run against Rick Scott for Senate. DeSantis’ team ⁤quickly dismissed ⁤these rumors, stating that Trump was panicking⁢ due to DeSantis’ strong debate performance and growing momentum.

As the ‌hurricane hit, DeSantis shifted his⁢ attention to the crisis at hand, ⁣leading to a temporary silence from his political ⁢operation. However, Trump continued​ to target DeSantis on ⁣social media, sharing claims, videos, and online ⁣poll numbers that showed Trump leading in the Republican Party presidential ⁢primary.

One of Trump’s accusations was ‍that DeSantis had approved a significant increase in Florida’s⁣ electricity rates. However,⁣ the governor’s press ⁢secretary clarified that ​the Public Service ⁢Commission, not DeSantis, ⁣is ‌responsible for setting⁣ rates, and energy costs have been rising since Biden took office.

While​ the people ⁤of Florida dealt with the aftermath of the hurricane, Trump emphasized that‍ he ​received more votes than DeSantis ⁤in the state. However, it’s important to note that DeSantis was​ on a midterm ballot, while Trump was ⁤on​ a presidential ballot.

Trump also ‌shared a Daily Mail article⁣ that claimed a ⁤super⁣ PAC supporting DeSantis had closed due to donor concerns. However, an expert in​ FEC⁣ filings ⁤mocked⁣ the defunct PAC, highlighting its⁢ lack of legitimacy.

The ‍DeSantis‍ camp had previously warned about a PAC using his name without permission to raise⁣ funds. Legal ​counsel for DeSantis sent a letter to donors, clarifying ​that the PAC was unauthorized ​and aimed ⁣to exploit DeSantis’ popularity.

DeSantis’ Communications Director⁣ responded to the Daily Mail report,⁤ stating that they were ⁤aware of the ‍scam PAC and were glad it was no longer⁢ attempting to deceive⁤ donors. They emphasized DeSantis’ fundraising ‍success and his strong debate ⁤performance, ‌expressing confidence in their campaign’s momentum.
