Newsmax panelists got into a heated debate Thursday about the competition between former President Donald Trump and Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who announced his presidential bid Wednesday.
Newsweek senior editor-at-large Josh Hammer sparred with MAGA Inc. spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt about 2024 presidential primary. Leavitt argued DeSantis is not in a good position to compete against the former president in light of the glitches that plagued his Twitter Space launch.
“DeSantis’ botched campaign announcement proves that he and his team are not ready for primetime,” Leavitt said. “He proposes a national federal sales tax, he voted to cut Social Security, he has no plan to end the war in Ukraine. President Trump cut taxes, secured the border, reinvested in our economy. He is the Day One leader that America needs.”
