Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis sought to reset his U.S. presidential bid Tuesday with his first major interview outside conservative media, but the effort seemed to be largely overshadowed by the legal issues confronting Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump.
Minutes before DeSantis was due to sit down with CNN, Trump announced he was expecting to be indicted for a third time, this time as part of the federal probe into his role in Jan. 6 and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
DeSantis, 44, had planned to make a splash with a fresh policy announcement on eradicating "wokeness" in the military -- a high-profile issue for many in the Republican Party. But he ended up being asked straight out of the gate about the former president -- and having the rest of his interview pushed back to the second half of the hour as CNN's analysts took stock of the breaking news.
"I hope he doesn't get charged. I don't think it would be good for the country. But at the same time, I've got to focus on looking forward and that's what we're going to do," the governor said.
DeSantis has been criticized in some quarters for not going in hard enough against Trump, whose polling lead against him has expanded from a bridgeable 13 points in January to a possibly insurmountable 33.5 points Tuesday.
He has been trying to present himself as an electable alternative to the former president, but some analysts have tagged him for awkwardness with the public on the campaign trail, his fiercely conservative politics and missteps he has made on foreign policy.
DeSantis has so far granted interviews almost exclusively to conservative outlets, drawing allegations that he is afraid to engage with journalists outside of the "safe space" of that media ecosphere.
"Some reboots were never going to be successful, like 'Dynasty,' 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' or even 'MacGyver.' And now we can add Ron DeSantis's 2024 campaign to the list of failures," Trump aide Jason Miller hit back.
