Hello there I'm Chuck Todd. I just stepped off to meet the press set. I interviewed

Republican Congressman Byron Donald's North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. We learned our show with what will likely turn into the busiest week so far in the

Republican presidential primary. Senator Tim Scott will announce his

campaign formally tomorrow in South Carolina. Florida Governor Rhonda

Santos is expected to finally make his run official this week at least with his paperwork

After a lengthy pre-campaign of sorts where he lost a lot of momentum

midterm election seemed to hoist him up as the true challenger who could snatch the Republican

nomination for former President Trump.

Frankly, I think most people just thought that maybe this would convince Trump it's

time for him to step aside.

New York Post hailed him as the future.

But as Trump reverted to his tried and true method of personal attacks to Santas Mania

appeared to disappear as suddenly as it started.

The Florida governor was unwilling or unable to trade barbs on the same playing field as Trump.

How is he going to do when he's an announced candidate and to add insult to political injury, the former President

has gathered the support of more than half of the 20 Republicans in Florida's congressional delegation.

Desantis has only one representative on his side, a former Secretary of State that served

under Desantis, Laurel Lee.

So to break down what is going on between these two Florida men, I'm joined now by a third Florida man,

former Congressman Carlos Crubell. Hello sir.

Hey Chuck, that makes four Florida men.
