After the Midterm Elections of November 8, now at 1.30 AM of November 9, we don’t know if the Democrat’s defeat will be huge or small or zero. However, at this moment we can analyze one of the most important results of the Tuesday voting.
Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis is winning the re-election against a former Florida Governor, Charlie Crist, for a 59.5% to 39.9% according to the Wall Street Journal journalist Arian Campo-Flores.
The interesting side of this news is that during the voting day and in previous days of the election, the former President Donald Trump made harsh warnings against the possible intention of Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024.
In addition, in declarations of recent days, Mr. Trump mocked the Floridian Governor with the nickname of "Ron DeSanctimonious.”
About the mocking of Donald Trump, we have to observe that the name “Sanctimonious” is very contemptuous, in particular for a politician with the ambitions of Mr. DeSantis.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the meaning of "sanctimonious" is about a "hypocritically pious or devout." In his writing, Shakespeare has used "sanctimonious" in this way.
Before the end of the elections, Ron DeSanctis didn’t answer Mr. Trump about this mocking.
But immediately when it was public that his victory against Mr. Crist will be strong, the Floridian Governor went to his followers with a declaration that is implicit answer to Donald Trump.
In his speech of celebration of victory, Ron DeSantis said “We’ve got so much more to do. I have only begun to fight.”
To complete this analysis, we have to remember that in 2018, in his first election for Florida’s Governor with the endorsement of at that moment President Trump, Ron DeSantis won against the Democratic nominee, Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum with only a 4.0% margin.
Independently, of other important issues of the Midterm Election, we think that the strong victory of DeSantis and the exchange of messages with the former President Trump marks probably the most important outcome of the voting.
Surely, from now till the 2024 Election, we will see a sour political war between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. What do you think?
