Hours before Tuesday's midterm elections
which will decide which party holds the majority in Congress, Trump said what he said.
At a weekend rally
he also referred to the emerging Republican star as "Ron de Sanctimonius."
Trump claimed that if DeSantis announced his intention to run for president, he would reveal "things that wouldn't be very nice about him - I know more about him than anyone else, except probably his wife."
Trump gave no details
but had previously threatened to leak negative information about opponents.
He then went on to describe his potential opponent as a "good man" and denied a dispute between them. There's no altercation with me, and I'm on my way in the polls.
DeSantis :

- Florida in 2019. He presented himself as a passionate supporter of conservatism.
In Tuesday's midterm elections
he easily won a second term as governor of Florida. When he defeated his Democratic opponent by about 20 points, surpassing almost all expectations, it sparked further rumors that he would run for president in two years.
The race was very close four years ago which led to the need for a recount.
Trump :

- revealed to reporters earlier in
- the day that he had cast his vote for DeSantis.
Although DeSantis remained silent on a potential presidential bid, rumors abounded. The announcement, according to Trump, will be "very huge" and will come on November 15.
