Former President Donald Trump says he is neither aware of nor worried about whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will challenge him for the GOP presidential candidacy in 2024.

“I don’t know if Ron is running, and I don’t ask him,” Trump told The New Yorker. “It’s his prerogative. I think I would win,” he said.
