DeSantis Presidential Campaign Launches 'Trump Accident Tracker' to Highlight Rival's Missteps

DeSantis campaign hones in on Trump's gaffes and remarks at odds with Republican values, arguing they highlight former president as liability; move provokes sharp response from Trump camp amid ongoing battle between 2024 GOP candidates.

• The DeSantis Presidential Campaign launched the 'Trump Accident Tracker', a social media effort highlighting Donald Trump's campaign trail missteps and moments when he appeared to not align with Republican values.
• The tracker leverages incidents like Trump's confusion of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as the 'leader of Turkey' and his hesitation on transgender issues, contrasting these with DeSantis's firm stances.
• Spokesperson for the DeSantis campaign, Andrew Romeo states the tracker aims to remind Americans of the potential liability Trump would be in the Oval Office through a daily record of Trump's campaign accidents.
• In response to the tracker, Trump's campaign characterized it as a desperate move from a struggling campaign, simultaneously launching their own 'Kiss of Death' countdown aimed at the DeSantis campaign.
• Despite trailing behind Trump in primary polls, DeSantis has continued to emphasize that Trump has lost his sharpness since his 2015-2016 campaign, using the tracker to spotlight his opponent's perceived weaknesses.
