And while he has repeatedly expressed confidence he would beat Trump in a rematch of their 2020 race, he has said comparatively little about DeSantis up to now. DeSantis poses the greatest threat against Trump in a hypothetical 2024 primary, according to a July New York Times/Siena College poll. He has bolstered his national profile in recent months by being a sharp critic of Biden and Democratic policies, including on immigration. The gathering, in which Biden elicited loud cheers as he stalked the stage with detached microphone, was the sort of event Biden often had to forgo during his 2020 campaign because of Covid-19 restrictions. DeSantis, though, leads Crist by 11 percentage points and had a 53% approval rating among likely Florida voters, according to a mid-October Florida Atlantic University poll. DeSantis did deliver a subtle jab at Biden, who surveyed the storm damage near Fort Myers from a helicopter. Biden, who turns 80 this month, has said he intends to run for re-election and will announce a final decision after the Nov. Biden’s criticism Tuesday was a marked difference from his last visit to the state, when he and the governor traded niceties as they consoled victims of Hurricane Ian. 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol and for questioning the results of the 2020 election. “This guy is not -- he doesn’t fit any of the categories I talked about,” the president said Tuesday evening of DeSantis. It points to a souring of the political debate that has descended into mud-slinging on both sides. Biden again blamed violent rhetoric for the attack last week on Paul Pelosi, the husband of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

He has adopted a distinctly Trumpian approach to his plight – slamming the investigations as a “witch hunt” and an “attempted coup” and, like the former US president, has raised doubts about the legitimacy of the judiciary. He made the announcement after Sunak said he wouldn’t attend owing to the demands of salvaging the British economy, though there have been reports in recent days that he might change his mind. Conservative MPs opted instead for former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, who has only been in power for a week but is already finding out what many observers believe to be the case – that the Conservative Party is ungovernable. Even if Trump doesn’t run in 2024, the power of his movement is so strong in the GOP that a possible future Republican president would likely share his populist, nationalist, “America First” instincts. There had been fears that Bolsonaro would emulate his US alter ego and fellow Covid-19 mask rejectionist by refusing to accept the result of an election that tipped him out of power after only a single term. Bolsonaro and Lula da Silva aren’t the only blasts from the past who’ve tried to pave a way back to power. Still, the comeback trail is not always kind to populist leaders who have fallen from power. Lula da Silva, a former two-term president of Brazil, has, like Trump, had his run-ins with legal authorities. And on Sunday in Brazil, Lula da Silva, who’s known as “Lula,” narrowly defeated President Jair Bolsonaro in a runoff election. Trump has left no doubt that he’s itching to mount another presidential campaign – not just because he misses the spotlight. Past scandals, their own legal nightmares and treacherous politics aren’t stopping them from recreating that dream of a past glory. Trump would love to plow a similar furrow.

Just days removed from the assault on Paul Pelosi, Donald Trump is throwing in his lot with the conspiracy caucus on what actually happened in the attack.
He knows they want to believe the absolute worst about Paul and Nancy Pelosi and so he is giving them what they want. All of this, unfortunately, is par for the course for the former president and the movement that he leads. And that the 2020 election was stolen from him. They want to keep you in the dark, but you are too smart for that, so you see through the stories they are telling you. It’s unclear to me whether Trump actually believes anything he is saying about the Pelosi attack. And that the Iowa caucuses had been stolen from him. As is usual with him, he threw just enough qualifiers and vague language in to give himself plausible deniability. But the window was broken in and it was strange the cops were standing there practically from the moment it all took place.” “It’s weird things going on in that household in the last couple of weeks,” Trump said.
