Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appeared taken aback when he was questioned about his depressing poll numbers during a trip to Japan, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Ron and his wife Casey are currently on a world tour. They will be also visiting South Korea, Israel, and the United Kingdom. During the first stop, the politician was asked, “Governor, polls show you falling behind Trump. Any thoughts on that?"
DeSantis appeared unprepared to answer the question and told the reporter, “I'm not a candidate, so we'll see if and when that changes.”

As we previously reported, while Trump has been soaring in polls, the ex-prez faces multiple investigations and has been working with his lawyers on defending himself against the 34-count indictment filed by the Manhattan DA.
In the case, Trump stands accused of paying hush-money to adult film star Stormy Daniels to silence her in the days before the 2016 election. Ivanka’s father denied he ever made the payment or even had a one-night stand with Stormy.
