Given the possibility, Trump told Fox News correspondent Sean Hannity in an interview that aired Monday night that supporting De Sandys was like a nuclear weapon in the 2018 gubernatorial race. He added that De Sandys came to see him “with tears in his eyes.” to ask for support from the former president.

Trump added that the current governor of Florida could have worked for a pizzeria or a law firm if not for his support, saying that without his help, he would never have taken office.

Trump has repeatedly insisted that it would be unwise for de Sandys to be his opponent for the Republican nomination. “If I go against him, I will beat him like everyone else,” he told Yahoo Finance in October. “I think most people will give up[the race for the anointing]I believe he will give up,” he added.
