Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America, and former President
0:05
Donald Trump has just given some information that's gonna shake up the Republican primary
0:11
and well, it might shake up the United States Senate and all of Republican politics as well
0:16
That's how huge of an announcement this is. But before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe

Those little things really help us out, and they really help our channel continue to grow

Special shout out to our YouTube and Facebook followers who are always helping us by doing that
0:31
We really appreciate it. So former President Donald Trump went to his Truth Social profile
0:36
This is his favorite profile. He's been back on Twitter, he's done a little YouTube, a little Facebook, but he's spending
0:42
his time on Truth Social. He went on Truth Social and he announced that he's heard rumors that Florida Governor Ron
0:50
DeSantis, who is also his number one Republican presidential opponent in the primary, would
0:57
be dropping out of the race to pursue a 2025 campaign against Republican Senator Rick Scott
1:06
of Florida to try to become the senator from that state because DeSantis cannot be governor again
1:12
This would be monumental if true, but there's some problems with it
1:18
First of all, the DeSantis campaign and Brian Griffin, who is the spokesperson or the press
1:22
secretary of the DeSantis campaign, he said this was wishful thinking on Trump's part
1:28
He said that DeSantis is not getting out, that his poll numbers are rising and Trump's
1:32
poll numbers are dipping since the mugshot and since he skipped the presidential debate
1:38
So he believes that DeSantis has momentum. I would disagree. DeSantis has risen two points
1:45
Trump has dropped six points in the Republican primary, but he's still at 50%
1:50
It's monumental. It's just about uncatchable. So I don't think that's the case
1:55
I think Trump maybe really heard these things. Now DeSantis' campaign has to say it's not true because they want the donors to keep
2:02
coming in even if they use those donors for a 2025 Senate campaign
2:08
Another problem is that Rick Scott's really popular. He's a really popular Republican
2:12
He's very conservative. He's a Trump guy. He's conservative to his core
2:17
His core principles are Republican core principles. He's not going to be easy to primary, but DeSantis is a very popular governor and so
2:26
that really helps him in the state of Florida. However, if you don't have Trump's endorsement, you're going to have a problem, especially
2:35
in a state like Florida. So my idea, if I'm Ron DeSantis, here's what I would do
2:42
I get out of the presidential race immediately. I say with this persecution of former President Donald Trump, it is time for all Republicans
2:49
to unite behind him, including me. We're going to get behind this man and make him president in 2024
2:55
At the very least, even if you don't get his endorsement for 2025, you probably get him
3:00
to stay out of it and let you and Rick Scott duke it out and you get on friendlier terms
3:04
with Trump so then people aren't against you anymore, even in your own home state
3:08
Politics wise, I think that's the smartest idea, but I want to know what you guys think so please let me know in the comments
3:14
Also, please remember to like, share, and subscribe. That really helps us out. Again, I'm Carmine Sabia

This is Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you. Take care everybody
