Former President Trump lashed out at his former press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Tuesday, accusing her of providing “false” poll numbers during an appearance on Fox News.

“Kayleigh ‘Milktoast’ McEnany just gave false poll numbers to FoxNews. I am 34 points up on DeSanctimonious, not 25 up,” Trump said in a Truth Social post, using his nickname for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

“While 25 is great, it’s not 34,” he added. “He knows the number was rigged up by the group that did the poll. The RINOS & Globalists can get him. FoxNews should only use REAL Stars!!!”

McEnany, now a co-host of Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” told host Jesse Waters on Tuesday night that Iowa polls showed DeSantis “closing the gap” on the former president, after The Florida governor formally announced his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination last week.

Ocasio-Cortez said she was voting against debt ceiling legislation. DeSantis kicked off the presidential campaign in Iowa, vowing to ‘fight’ against Trump

It was not immediately clear which poll Trump and McEnany were referring to. A recent survey from Emerson College Polling showed the former president leading DeSantis by 42 points among Iowa voters.

DeSantis rallied supporters outside Des Moines on Tuesday, as he begins a four-day campaign swing in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Trump is scheduled to arrive in the Hawkeye State later this week.

The Hill has reached out to Fox News for comment.
