Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Nov. 15 responded to former President Donald Trump, saying that he’s focused on leading his state.

“One of the things I’ve learned in this job is when you’re leading, when you’re getting things done, you take incoming fire, that’s just the nature of it,” DeSantis said at an unrelated press conference when asked about Trump.
