Donald Trump escalated his criticism of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, suggesting he views DeSantis as a potential challenger in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.

In a lengthy statement, Trump jabbed at DeSantis as an "average" governor who benefited from "great Public Relations."

In recent days, the former president has alternated between swipes at the Florida governor, such as labeling him "DeSanctimonious," and then telling a rally on Sunday to reelect DeSantis. Read more here.

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney said the midterm results show a “real rejection” of former President Donald Trump and his brand of politics.

“It was a clear victory for team normal, and we have a huge amount of work to do,” Cheney said at the Never Is Now conference in New York hosted by the Anti-Defamation League. “I think that you saw in really important races around the country people coming together and saying ‘We believe in democracy. We believe in standing up for the Constitution and for the Republic,' and a real rejection of the toxicity and the hate and vitriol of Donald Trump.”

Cheney, once the No. 3 Republican in the House who fell out with the party over her harsh criticism of Trump, was ousted during the Wyoming Republican primary by Harriet Hageman. Hageman, who received Trump’s endorsement, handily won her race against Democrat Lynnette Grey Bull.

But at least 14 of his candidates are projected to lose their races. Republicans are already finger-pointing as to who is to blame for the disappointing results. While Republicans could still control of both chambers, the predicted "red wave" didn't materialize.

“I look at what happened on Tuesday night, and while it certainly is not the end of this battle -- we have a long battle ahead -- I do think it was the American people generally sending a message they want to pull us back from the brink,” Cheney said.
