A pro-Ron DeSantis banner reading “You lost again Donald!” was flown over Mar-a-Lago as Donald Trump was getting ready to deliver his presidential campaign announcement.
The banner also carried a “#DESANTIS2024” hashtag and circled over the former president’s Florida home on Tuesday afternoon.
The Florida governor is seen as the main rival to the former president, who has now officially launched his 2024 bid, for the Republican presidential nomination to take on Joe Biden or any other Democratic nominee.
Trump has recently sharpened his attacks on DeSantis, who romped to victory in his own election race last week, and has been hailed by media titan Rupert Murdoch as the future of the GOP, rather than Trump.

When asked about Trump’s attacks, DeSantis said that Trump should “look at the scoreboard” from the midterm elections, which he called “underwhelming” for the GOP after a string of Trump-endorsed candidates lost their races across the country last Tuesday.
“One of the things I’ve learned in this job is when you’re leading, when you’re getting things done, you take incoming fire, that’s just the nature of it,” DeSantis said. “At the end of the day, I would just tell people to go check out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night.”
