  • Ron DeSantis called the Ukraine war a "territorial dispute" and said it's not a "vital" US interest.
  • The comments, making clear his position on Ukraine going into 2024, are eliciting strong pushback.
  • "Obviously, he doesn't deal with foreign policy every day as governor," said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.

The Republican Party is once again in a war of words with itself over the war in Ukraine — this time because of Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.
