PIERS MORGAN (FOX NATION HOST): Well it's a very interesting poll isn't it, I mean you could call it the Morgan bounce, Brian, couldn't you, or I would. I think it's really interesting, I sat down with him for over an hour. I didn't know him before. Obviously, I know Donald Trump very well, and they couldn't be two more different people. Where Trump thrives on chaos and drama and unpredictability, and being spontaneous and outrageous, DeSantis is none of those things. He seemed to me very focused, very organized, very data-led, doesn't like drama, likes things to be planned out, likes to get, as he put it, scores on the board. And you have to say that, I think one of the reasons he is proving so popular, it he's a winner. You go back to the recent midterm elections, they weren't great for the Republicans, a lot of Donald Trump's big endorsement picks didn't win, didn't do well, and there you have the big stand-out winner was Ron DeSantis, who had this thumping win in Florida, took a thirty-odd thousand majority, turned into one and a half million. I was down in Florida for a few days interviewing him, he's incredibly popular there, Brian. Incredibly popular. So, anyone who thinks this is over and that Trump has somehow swatted away this annoying bee, I don't think that is the case. I think DeSantis is going to come out soon and say he's running, and I think it's going to be one hell of a battle, and you have a clear choice. The Republicans, do you want more drama and chaos and baggage, or do you want someone who is fresh, young, nearly half Trump's age, who doesn't have the baggage, and believes in doing government a different way? Straightforward choice.
