									Correct								

                                    Explanation:

It was a disappointing night for Donald Trump, who was counting on a powerful Republican showing to boost his expected 2024 run to return to White House. He also saw his main rival for the party’s presidential nomination, Ron DeSantis, record a thumping victory to remain Governor of Florida.
