President Donald Trump announced that he will officially abandon the “Ron DeSanctimonious” nickname he previously used for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
Former President Donald Trump first used Ron DeSantis' nickname “Ron DeSantis” on November 5, 2022, three days before the midterm elections.
It happened during a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where Trump was running for Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano and Senate candidate Mehmet Oz.
He mentioned the title while discussing his standing in the polls for the potential 2024 Republican primary nomination.
