up showdown within the republican party. tony dokoupil has the story from the sunshine state. >> reporter: the midterms are of course a mile marker for america, but they are also, let's be real here, a starting gun for candidates hoping to make a white house run in 2024. so here comes former president donald trump, already teasing that big announcement, quote, unquote next week. and he is firing an election day warning shot at one of his biggest potential rivals in 2024 and one of last night's biggest winners with a big night in florida -- >> freedom is here to stay! >> reporter: and a double-digit win over democrat charlie crist -- >> we not only won election, we have rewritten the political happen. >> reporter: ron desantis capped a dizzying four-year rise narrowly elected as governor in 2018, now widely talked up as a
3:42 am
potential white house contender in 2024. among his gains last night, more than 80,000 votes in miami's traditionally blue dade county. and compared to four years ago, he picked up voters statewide in nearly every demographic, including women and latino voters, a group he lost by ten points last time. but on maybe the biggest day of ron desantis's political career, former president donald trump held his own election night event, tallying what he claimed were his victories of candidates he endorsed. >> 80 wins and 3 losses. is that good? >> reporter: and in a series of interviews, the former president took credit for desantis being governor at all. >> i got him the nomination. he didn't get it. i lot it. i thought he could have been more gracious, but that's up to him. >> reporter: in comments to "the wall street journal", he also called a possible desantis white
3:43 am
house run a mistake. and then a warning. "if he did run, i will tell you things about him that won't be very flattering. i know more about him than anybody other than perhaps his wife, who is really running his campaign." and when i read that line, guy, it really did take me walk to 2016. that was of course when donald trump used any means necessary from insults to innuendo to clear a field of gop contenders, including by the way another florida governor, that would be jeb bush, and another of last night's big winners, marco rubio. as for what ron desantis is thinking this morning, we just don't know. the words donald trump and white house, they did not appear in his big speech. >> tony dokoupil reporting. now to the war in ukraine. moscow announced a troop withdrawal from the occupied city of kherson. ucrankian forces have been closing in on the regional capital for weeks now, but their
