The feud between Donald Trump and Desantis continues to spill into the public eye after shots were fired. During his Saturday rally, Trump proved once again that he is not afraid to speak his mind.
According to the Daily Caller, Trump referred to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as "Ron DeSanctimonious" during his rally.
During his speech in Pennsylvania, Trump revealed a poll taken after the raid on his Mar-a-Lago resort in August.

Although DeSantis has not officially announced his intention to seek the presidency in 2024, he is considered to be Trump's main challenger. Support for DeSantis is strong among Republicans with college degrees, while those with less education are more likely to back Trump.
Despite Trump's criticism of Desantis, other Republicans have come out in support of the Florida governor. According to the Washington Examiner, Mike Pompeo, the former Secretary of State, endorsed DeSantis on Saturday.
Although DeSantis will face off against Charlie Crist for the governor's seat in Florida, many are still expecting him to run for president. In September, a Rasmussen poll revealed that over 70% of Republicans support Trump as the next president. Only 10% of them preferred DeSantis. Pompeo's support for the governor was not affected by Trump's recent jabs.
In a statement, Mike Pompeo praised DeSantis for his conservative policies and stated that Florida is better off with him as its governor.
In September, Trump said that it would be disloyal for former members of his cabinet to run against him in the 2024 presidential elections. Pompeo's endorsement came just a few days before the elections. Nikki Haley, who served as the US ambassador to the UN, also hinted at a potential presidential run.
One of the most important qualities that people admire about Trump is his ability to keep moving forward even when he is not at his best. Throughout his political career, he has repeatedly proved that he is not afraid to speak his mind. In the upcoming presidential elections, many will expect the candidates to deliver entertaining speeches and ads.
