A recent YouGov poll showed DeSantis leading Trump by 8 points in a hypothetical contest for the Republican nomination.
Stone, a close Trump ally, made the remark during an interview with David Brody of Real America's Voice and a video of his comments wasby PatriotTakes on Monday, which describes itself as"researchers monitoring and exposing right-wing extremism."
DeSantis is widely seen as a potential rival to Trump for the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination despite the fact the former president is seen as playing a key role in helping DeSantis win his 2018 governor's race. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis speaks to guests at the Republican Jewish Coalition Annual Leadership Meeting on November 19, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. DeSantis is widely seen as a challenger to former President Donald Trump.Stone said that if DeSantis runs for president"it would be an extraordinary act of political treachery and disloyalty."
"Ron DeSantis became governor solely because of Donald Trump," Stone said."He was an unknown congressman, his campaign was mired in single digits, he was having fundraising problems.","every single Republican county chairman in Florida, every elected Republican in both houses of the legislature and every Republican member of the congressional delegation" had backed DeSantis' 2018 rival for the GOP nomination, then Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam.
"Ron DeSantis' campaign was turbocharged by a tweeted endorsement by Donald Trump," Stone went on."Otherwise, he would be working at a Dairy Queen right now. Trump had to campaign here in Florida in the last two weeks of 2018 to drag DeSantis over the finish line."
