Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said if Republicans nominate former President Donald Trump as their 2024 GOP presidential pick, it's a “high risk” with a “low reward” for the party.

“The point is simple. Donald Trump is a high-risk proposition as a nominee because I think the chance of him getting elected is small,” DeSantis said Sunday in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “But it’s a low reward because he’s gonna be a lame duck on day one.”

A "lame duck" typically refers to a politician who remains in power but will be replaced by a newly elected successor.

DeSantis alleged that Trump, “even if he could get elected, he would not able to attract the type of talent to work in his administration, and he would be saddled with all of these distractions, it would be virtually impossible to get the job done.”
