Ron DeSantis fired back at Donald Trump for the ex-president’s intensifying broadsides against Florida’s governor as the war of words between the two potential GOP 2024 primary front-runners deepens.

“I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden. That’s how I spend my time,” DeSantis said at a press conference Wednesday in response to a question about Trump’s ramped-up attacks. “I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans.”
