Kimberly Guilfoyle sat down with Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington to criticize Ron DeSantis for going against the alleged election fraud and openly acknowledging Donald Trump‘s defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
On August 7th, Guilfoyle and Harrington’s discussion aired on Newsmax. The news personality and legal analyst asked Harrington: “Do you think it’s really a good move for DeSantis? He’s already trailing behind Trump.”
She added, regarding the controversial Florida governor: “His only momentum so far in this race has been his downward spiral.”

Guilfoyle continued: "So now [DeSantis is], what, going ahead attacking the MAGA base, attacking Trump supporters, essentially. What do you make of this?"
Harrington replied: "He's desperate and he’s really showing his true colors." She went on: "And look what President Trump has been saying. The only reason they’re going after him so ferociously is because they cheat on elections."
"You wouldn’t have to say it’s illegal to criticize an election like they’re doing against President Trump unless you have something to hide," Harrington continued, referring to Trump's recent indictment (concerning his attempts to change the outcome of the 2020 election in his favor).
Harrington then said: "And what DeSantis is proving is that he’s willing to push a lie, the lie that Joe Biden got 81 million votes because he thinks it will benefit him politically, but just like everything else, is going to make him drive even lower in the polls."
Subsequently, Guilfoyle indicated that Trump would not be part of the upcoming Republican debate set to take place in Milwaukee on the 23rd of August due to the uncertain rapport between Fox News and their recurrent reports on DeSantis.
"Right now, he’s not going to. I know they want him to, but why would he go to that other network that is begging to have him on and help their ratings, right?" the former First Spouse of San Francisco asked.
Guilfoyle continued: "...He made a funny comment where he’s like, 'Oh, let me just see, depending maybe I’ll pick one of these people as my VP,' which is already just like reverse body slamming."
As of yet, Trump has not publicly committed to or ruled out taking part in the upcoming debate; however, in the past, he has hinted at forgoing the event.
Additionally, former Vice President Mike Pence and Chris Christie have both secured their qualifications for the debate.
