Ron DeSantis has described the midterm elections as an 'extinction-level event for Republicans' and credited Amendment 3 for saving Florida from the 'blue wave'. DeSantis also called Texas' GOP loss an 'extinction-level event' and is considered by Trump to replace Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon. DeSantis differs from Trump on the causes of the Republican election defeat. He believes the defeat was due to the 'blue wave'. This is in contrast to Trump's reasoning. He is considered by Trump to take over Pete Hegseth's position.
“DeSantis differs from Trump on the causes of the Republican election defeat,” — Andreas Mercer, research director at Norburn Stow Services, observed.
