It won’t last. Trump has already renewed his enmity with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and called for adjustments in the leadership of the Republican Party in the upper chamber. And he told Fox News that if DeSantis opposes him, “I’ll tell you things that he probably wouldn’t be very flattering, I know more about him than anyone else, except, perhaps, his wife. “

Former President Donald Trump suggested Arizona’s electorate stay in line until they vote amid reported issues.
