Breaking News: Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was asked on the popular Ruthless podcast Friday about speculation that he and former President Donald Trump are on the outs as both are looking at possible runs for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.

One of the show’s multiple hosts noted that the media is “trying to drive a wedge between you and one of your constituents here in Florida, former President Trump.

“Is there any sort of animosity?” the host asked. “What’s that relationship like? I want to know what that dynamic is like.”

“I think this is what the media does,” DeSantis shot back, dismissing the question.

Rumors of a Trump-DeSantis feud peaked this week when Trump called politicians who don’t disclose whether they’ve received a Covid-19 vaccine booster shot are “gutless” – an apparent jab at DeSantis. DeSantis made headlines in December for fumbling his answer on whether or not he was boosted while on the Fox Business Network.

Journalists listened to another voice from a 40-minute interview, which during a discussion of Covid-19 virus control measures in Florida, DeSantis said he wished he could go back to the days when Trump was still president of the United States.
