The former president is irked by the Florida governor’s popularity and refusal to rule out running against him.
DeSantis is a favorite of Republican voters when pollsters remove Trump from the hypothetical 2024 field.
The governor also hasn’t been beyond tweaking his fellow Floridian.
DeSantis said on the “Ruthless” podcast, recorded Thursday, one of his biggest regrets in office was not speaking out “much louder” in March 2020, when Trump advised the American public to stay home to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
