“That’s just the reality of the situation," the Florida governor and Donald Trump's 2024 Republican rival told ABC's Jonathan Karl.
Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R) has claimed that some Donald Trump-endorsing Republicans have told him in private that they’ll actually vote for him instead of the former president in the GOP primary.
“I do know elected officials who encouraged me to run and say they’re going to vote for me in a primary but yet have endorsed Donald Trump,” the Florida governor told ABC’s Jonathan Karl on Sunday’s episode of “This Week.”
“That’s just the reality of the situation,” DeSantis added ahead of the Iowa caucuses.

DeSantis’ claim came after Karl read a quote from DeSantis-backing Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who said the “majority” of Republicans who have come out for Trump are really just “scared of their own constituents” and fear Trump may “rile” them up and cost them their primary.
