Speaking to David Brody of CBN News, DeSantis asserted that the charges had a detrimental effect on the tone of the GOP race.
“I would say if I could have one thing change, I wish Trump hadn’t been indicted on any of this stuff,” he began.
The governor refutes the accusations and accused Manhattan District Attorney George Soros of having undue influence.
“I think someone like a Bragg would not have brought that case if it was anyone other than Donald Trump, and so someone like that’s distorting justice, which is bad, but I also think it distorted the primary,” DeSantis said.
“It also just crowded out, I think, so much other stuff, and it’s sucked out a lot of oxygen.”
In addition, there are two federal prosecutors’ criminal cases against Trump and a Georgia state case. The 2020 election aftermath is the source of two of the instances.
Despite his legal issues, some believe that the 2024 primary is already decided before any ballots are cast due to Trump’s dominance in polling.
A Real Clear Polling aggregate of polls shows that the former president is presently leading his closest rival, Ron DeSantis, by 51 points.
Trump’s margin was considerably greater, as evidenced by a straw poll conducted during Turning Point USA’s recent AmericaFest conference, which put him 75 points ahead of DeSantis.

Prior to the Iowa Caucuses, DeSantis, who was formerly thought to be Trump’s strongest opponent, is having difficulty gaining traction. He seemed credible at first, but he hasn’t had much of an influence on the race yet.
Self-assured, DeSantis thinks he can defeat tough GOP opponent and former governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley.
In the interview on Thursday, he stated. “She’s not going to be able to win Iowa. I can,”
DeSantis expressed a similar sense of confidence on his prospects in a future general election.
“Obviously, Trump could win the primary,” he said. “I’m not convinced he can win the general. I can.”
