Over the weekend, former President Trump -- still the lone declared 2024 candidate for president from either major party -- held events, described as "low key" by Reuters, in the early primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina.
The 45th president described himself as 'angrier' than he has been in the past, asserting for good measure that he believes he won the last two general elections, the latest re-litigation of his 2020 loss. What garnered a fair amount of attention, however, were his latest salvos against would-be rival Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.
National and state-level polling shows DeSantis as the Republican most competitive with Trump in a primary setting, including some numbers that suggest DeSantis might be able to beat Trump.
