Gov. Ron DeSantis remains confident about his 2024 presidential chances, saying on Tuesday that the"proof is in the pudding."
In an interview with CNN, DeSantis brushed off concerns that he was becoming less electable due to his positions on controversial social issues, arguing that his stances were what gave him a chance at victory."I mean, the proof is in the pudding," he told CNN host Jake Tapper."I mean, I took a state that had been a 1-point state, and we won it by 20 percentage points, 1.5 million votes. Our bread and butter were people like suburban moms.

While gaining an initial boost after his landslide victory in the 2022 midterm elections, DeSantis's campaign has since declined, with the latest Morning Consult poll, taken July 14-16, showing him with only 20% of the vote in the Republican primary. The figure puts him 35 percentage points behind Trump, who took 55% of the vote.
