[Ron DeSantis](https://www.axios.com/2022/11/09/ron-desantis-florida-governor-election-results), after the Florida Republican easily held onto his seat during a midterm election cycle that delivered a series of losses for Trump-endorsed candidates in pivotal races. What he's saying: "Ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017—he was politically dead, losing in a landslide ..." "I also fixed his campaign, which had completely fallen apart."

He also lashed out at DeSantis' responses to questions about his own 2024 ambitions.
