She landed on Trump's bad side when she criticized his actions leading up to the Jan."You have orthodoxies that are promoted and other viewpoints are shunned, or even suppressed. Unfortunately now, the norm is really these are more intellectually repressive environments," DeSantis said during a bill signing at a middle school. Key quote: "It used to be thought that a university campus was a place where you'd be exposed to a lot of different ideas.In a straw poll of attendees at the Western Conservative Summit in Colorado last weekend, DeSantis edged Trump with a slightly higher approval rating, 74% to 71%. All of that has only served to vault DeSantis to prominence with Republicans.That comes after the state banned teaching "critical race theory" in its public schools, something that's become a cultural catchall on the right for teaching about the depths of Black history and the Black experience.Just this week - in addition to dealing with a building collapse - he signed controversial bills targeting so-called " indoctrination" in colleges and universities and expanding K-12 "civics education," which is to include "portraits in patriotism" with "first-person accounts of victims of other nations' governing philosophies who can compare those philosophies with those of the United States." He's on the tips of many tongues in GOP circles, and he has become a lightning rod on the left for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and more.Just this week, other top potential GOP presidential candidates were making public appearances and made the news, as they jockey for position - if Trump doesn't run. Trump's popularity with the GOP base has put somewhat of a freeze on the 2024 field, but some are running versions of shadow campaigns. Trump is expected to continue to hold many score-settling rallies and make lots of grievance-based endorsements ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, as Republicans seek to wrest control of one or both chambers of Congress from Democrats.

The 90-minute speech was punctuated by chants from an energetic crowd: "Trump won" and "four more years." "We won the election twice," Trump told supporters. Trump has left the door wide open to running again. He pushed baseless claims to argue what he said were America's biggest threats - election fraud and illegal immigration - and resurfaced a favorite but false assertion that the 2020 election was "stolen" from him.
Trump railed against "left-wing indoctrination" in schools, "fake news media" and Big Tech "tyrants," while championing Georgia's controversial voter ID law. "My fellow Americans, our movement is far from over. "We're gonna take back the House, we're gonna take back the Senate," Trump said, speaking before a crowd of thousands at a fairground in Wellington, a town southwest of Cleveland, in a county and state he won in 2020.
