Former President Donald Trump is maintaining a double-digit lead over potential primary challenger Gov. Ron DeSantis, a recent Ipsos/Reuters survey found. The survey asked respondents who they would support in the 2024 Republican primary, listing Trump, DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former Rep. Liz Cheney, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Among Republicans, specifically, Trump leads by 14 points — 44 percent to DeSantis’s 30 percent support.

Former Fox News star Megyn Kelly, host of the Megyn Kelly Show , criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for failing to sit down for an interview on the show, speculating that he is “afraid” and lambasting many of her colleagues in the field of journalism for putting their desire to get chummy with potential presidential candidates over their job to represent their audience and seek the truth. In a clip shared Monday, Kelly revealed that her team has asked DeSantis to come on her show, but he “has not said yes.” “I find that very interesting. You know, I love Piers Morgan. He’s a pal of mine. But why would you go sit with the British guy and not come on the show?” Kelly said, speculating the true reason for it. "He's afraid.
