Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has warned that former President Donald Trump will face another election defeat if he becomes the Republican presidential nominee in 2024.
“I don’t think he can win the election. I can win the election… I don’t think he can actually get the job done that we have to do,” DeSantis said during an appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher” on Friday. “We need accountability for what this government is doing to this country with restrictions, mandates and Covid restrictions. Donald Trump will not do that.”
Maher and DeSantis find themselves broadly in agreement on the coronavirus outbreak, a key issue for the GOP governor.
DeSantis has boasted about curbing closings and opening schools faster than almost any other state.
“You’ve handled it better … You’re more right and they’re not going to give you credit for it,” Maher said. “That’s the part of you I like.”
Maher criticized several aspects of DeSantis’ record in Florida and took aim at his past support for 2020 election denials like Kari Lake — now running for a Senate seat in Arizona.

“You are campaigning to deny the election in 2022. This I cannot forgive — quoting The Godfather,” Maher said.
The governor responded that “in 2016 your friends in Hollywood cut an ad telling the Electoral College to vote against Trump in the Electoral College because it was stolen. They said Russia stole the election. For years they’ve been saying that. So don’t act like this is a unique thing in the country’s modern history.”
The governor repeatedly drew applause from Maher’s liberal audience.
