In a stunning anti-Trump montage, Fox News aired a three-minute segment of Arizona voters urging former President Donald Trump not to run for office in 2024.
In an even bolder move, Fox News seemed to encourage the budding rivalry between Trump and popular conservative Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., by showing voters supporting Florida’s governor.
“I like what he stands for. I like what he does,” one voter named Jeff said. “But he upset too many people and he upset them really bad, so I don’t think he’s good for the party.”
“At this point, he’s a little too polarizing,” a voter named Susan was shown saying. “There are candidates out there, Republican candidates, obviously, that may be able to pull in people that he would lose.”
“I don’t think it’ll be best for our country for him to run for re-election,” a voter named Tanner is shown saying. “I think our Republican Party needs to be united.”
“I would vote for him, but I would not recommend he runs,” said another voter. “I voted for Trump both times. I love him. I think he was a good candidate. But, I think his time has passed.”
Although every person expresses some degree of admiration for Trump, only one voter is heard wholeheartedly endorsing Trump for a 2024 run, a woman named Beverly.
“He needs to get back in, he already gained that respect from all the world leaders, and finish what he started,” she said.
Then the video asked the Trump rally-goers, “Who should run for president?”
The unanimous answer: DeSantis, who has begun national fundraising in anticipation of a 2024 presidential run.
Even more shocking is the recent news that DeSantis has begun out-fundraising Trump on the national level.
“One hundred percent DeSantis,” a voter is shown answering. “No question about it.”
One person is shown going as far as to suggest that the former president should be the governor’s running mate… not the other way around.
“DeSantis will run for president,” the voter suggested. “If he wants to, then, he could pick up Donald as a vice president.”
But don’t take our word for it.
What do you think of the stunning break between Trump and Fox News?
Is this “fake news” and you still want Trump to run for president in 2024?
Or would you vote for someone else in the Republican Party primary?
