“The primaries are getting messy and raw, he will have opportunities in the future

Lara Trump has warned Florida Governor Ron DeSantis not to run against her stepfather, f Donald Trump, in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.

“I think he’s a smart enough guy to know that it would be great to have the full support of this whole party, of the ‘America First’ movement, MAGA, whatever you want to call it, fully behind him in 2028 and then possibly fracturing it in 2024,” Trump said on Sky News Australia. “I can tell you these primaries are getting very messy and very raw.”

Former US President Donald Trump has not indicated whether he plans to throw his hat in the 2024 ring.

DeSantis beat Democrat Charlie Crist by 19 points in their election last week, easily earning himself a second term, while other Republican candidates struggled.

DeSantis reportedly waited until May or June of next year before announcing a presidential run and Lara Trump guessed that “he’s probably waiting to see what my stepfather does.”

“I think Ron DeSantis is very smart. He’s a young guy. There will be a lot of opportunities for him in the future, and he knows that, to run for president,” she said .

“So wouldn’t it be nicer for him – and I think he knows this – to wait until 2028?” she argued.

Trump has been singled out in the wake of last week’s midterm races, with Democrats retaining their majority in the Senate and Republicans appearing to barely edge closer to a majority in the House.

Lara Trump has said she believes Republicans will support her stepfather again, just like they did when he won the GOP primary in 2016.

“I think the party would be behind him, and I think they know the American people as a whole are behind him,” she said. “I think we’re ready for something really big and really exciting,” she added.
