New York, Tampa, Dunedin In the first hours after the US midterm elections, an important winner was already certain: Ron DeSantis, the Republican governor of Florida, won his re-election with a margin of almost 20 percent. Not only one Republican has achieved enormous success in the normally highly competitive swing state.

DeSantis has also asserted itself as Donald Trump’s biggest internal competitor, despite the ex-president poking fun at him just days before the election.

In a campaign speech on Saturday night, Trump gave DeSantis the new nickname “Ron DeSanctimonious”. “Sanctimonious” means something like hypocritical or moral apostle.

In his speech, Trump hinted at his own candidacy for president in 2024, noting that DeSantis only got 10 percent in the polls, while he himself was more than 70 percent.
