Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has been running second behind Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination throughout the race thus far, predicted that Trump will make excuses should he lose the first-in-the-nation primary in Iowa next month.

“If Trump loses, he will say it’s stolen no matter what. He will try to delegitimize the results,” DeSantis told reporters following a rally in New Hampshire on Friday, according to Fox News.

DeSantis further noted that Trump “did that against Ted Cruz in 2016,” as he referred to Trump’s tweet after narrowly losing the caucuses to the conservative senator from Texas in which Trump wrote: “Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he stole it.”

All said, however, DeSantis is running a distant second to Trump in Iowa polling.
