Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida is trying to bait Donald Trump into entering the debates by saying the former president has lost his fastball and feels entitled to win the nomination.
Scrambling to make up ground on Mr. Trump, Mr. DeSantis says the front-runner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination “owes it to the voters to show up” on stage Nov. 8 in Miami and in the subsequent debates.“I think it is a different guy in ‘23 than he was in 2016,” the governor told reporters this week. “I think he was energetic, free-wheeling back then. I think it was really about America first.
Mr. Trump skipped the first two Republican presidential debates, and he signaled he has no plans to participate in future showdowns. Mr. Trump has held consistent double-digit polling leads in Iowa and New Hampshire, the first two stops on the nomination calendar. They warn that Mr. Trump has too much political and legal baggage and is so disliked by voters outside the party that he cannot win a general election against President Biden.
