How do you know this? I like DeSantis. I voted for him in the Georgia primary and I hope he gets another chance somewhere down the road. But the MSM was always going to be protective of the Dem. nominee whether it was Biden or Harris or whoever. That has nothing to do with Trump.

I think Trump has actually run a very disciplined campaign this time. Unlike 2016 or 2020.

Simple. DeSantis has more broad based appeal. He only gets into it when attacked. Left unprovoked he's just about the issues and progress he made, and he focuses heavily on tangible benefits he's provided to Florida.

Trump did what he had to do to get the GOP nomination - he appealed to his block who is the biggest part of the GOP. However, he's continued to run his campaign as if he's still trying the get the nomination and not trying to broaden his appeal.
