A voter in Iowa pressed Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis on Wednesday over why he hasn’t directly “gone after” former President Trump, citing DeSantis’s falling poll numbers.

The voter, in the audience of a campaign stop in Waukee, Iowa, asked DeSantis, “One, why haven’t you gone directly after him [Trump]? Your polls are down. He’s up really —”

DeSantis, also the governor of Florida interjected, “What do you mean by going directly after?”

“In my viewpoint, you’ve gone pretty soft on him,” the voter replied.
