Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume said that Donald Trump is a “loser” in the 2020 election because he has doubts about the possibility of the former president in 2024.
Hume said it was “inevitable” that Trump would attack DeSantis “because, obviously, Mr. Trump recognizes that this governor, who just won re-election by nearly 20 points, is now, in most people’s eyes, the winner.”
“As for him, Mr. Trump — despite some skeptics about what happened — lost,” he said.
Trump uses the term “loser” freely to condemn individuals and groups he dislikes – including political rivals, journalists, media organizations, terrorists and celebrities.
DeSantis, who was widely expected to be a contender in the 2024 presidential campaign, scored another victory in the November gubernatorial election. Many commentators have called him the biggest winner of the midterms and Trump the biggest loser, after several Trump-backed candidates failed to win seats.
So far, only two Republicans have announced their candidacy for 2024: Trump and former US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley.
