Sep. 21, 2022: Sunshine showdown: It’s the juggernaut match-up Republicans can’t stop talking about: former president Donald Trump vs. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The conventional wisdom for more than a year is that Trump would be impossible to beat in a GOP primary. According to a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll, that’s no longer the case — at least in their home state of Florida. In a hypothetical mano-a-mano Sunshine State presidential primary matchup, DeSantis leads Trump 48% to 40% — a major swing from January, when Trump was beating DeSantis by 7 percentage points. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
