For DeSantis the last elections were not perfect, but there was no foul play by the president’s Democrats Joe Biden.
“Of course he lost. Of course. Joe Biden is the presidentDeSantis told NBC on Sunday after spending two months avoiding such networks, favoring mostly conservative cable and internet channels.
NBC provided excerpts from the interview, which airs Monday.
Most Republican primary voters mistakenly believe that Trump won the last election, according to polls.
The 44-year-old governor’s statements in the NBC interview are the clearest yet in supporting the legitimacy of the 2020 election.
However, DeSantis criticized what he sees as an overreliance in 2020 on voting by mail, a practice denounced by Trump but which the Republican Party encourages and is available in Florida.
Trump, 77, faces three criminal charges, the latest for having tried to alter the outcome of the elections that culminated in the assault on January 6, 2021 at Capitolthe temple of democracy in USA.
The other two are for accounting fraud due to the payment of money to a porn actress to buy her silence and another for endangering national security with the negligent handling of confidential documents.
In addition, the prosecutor’s office Georgia is investigating whether Trump illegally attempted to change the outcome of the 2020 election in this southern state.

DeSantis, who was interviewed with his wife Caseybelieves that focusing too much on the former president’s legal problems hurts Republicans.
“If the election is a referendum on the policies of Joe Biden and the failures we have seen, and we present a positive vision for the future, we will win the presidency and have a chance to change the course of the country.DeSantis stated.
“If, on the other hand, the elections are not about January 20, 2025, but about January 6, 2021, or what document was left next to the toilet of sea-a-lakeif it is a referendum on that, we are going to lose”, he sentenced.
