In his first 2024 presidential campaign stop in New Hampshire and South Carolina Saturday, Former President Donald Trump took aim at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for considering a White House bid, calling the move “a great act of disloyalty.”

“If he runs, that's fine. I'm way up in the polls,” the 76-year-old told The AP.

“He's going to have to do what he wants to do, but he may run, I do think it would be a great act of disloyalty because, you know, I got him in. He had no chance. His political life was over.”
