Ron DeSantis Was Too Busy With an Execution to Watch Trump’s Third Arraignment

The governor continued to shock the press when he condemned Trump’s “big lie” on rigged voting machines and the 2020 presidential election.

“It was not an election that was conducted the way I think that we want to, but that’s different than saying Maduro stole votes or something like that,” DeSantis said as he mentioned Trump’s claims. “Those theories, you know, proved to be unsubstantiated.”

Even with three indictments within four months — and another expected one from Georgia DA Fani Willis — Trump maintained a notable lead over DeSantis, who is favored second in the polls.
