DeSantis quiet on Trump indictment as he faces conservatives in Trump country

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis condemned Walt Disney World and the U.S. Justice Department — not his chief Republican rival, Donald Trump — as he courted Nevada Republicans deep in the heart of Trump country. He spoke to Nevada voters on Saturday for the first time as a presidential candidate. He cast himself as willing to fight any and all rivals. But DeSantis made no direct mention of the federal indictment of Trump, who is facing dozens of felony counts for mishandling classified documents. The appearance come as the GOP’s crowded 2024 presidential class grapples with how to respond to Trump’s recent indictment. Some Republicans have raised serious concerns, but DeSantis has touched on it only generally by attacking the Justice Department.
