    Defend Donald Trump in absentia in response to a Chris Christie attack.

    In what other election have you ever heard of a candidate coming to their opponent’s defense?

      In the short term DeSantis’ goal is to defend Trump because doing otherwise is death. Everyone in the GOP who stands up against Trump gets crushed. DeSantis hopes the GOP primary comes down to him and Trump and then Trump gets sidelined due to legal/personal/financial/health issues.
