Some 2024 GOP competitors echo Trump on the campaign trail

Donald Trump's rhetoric and slogans are practically ubiquitous on the 2024 campaign trail – sometimes even at rallies and events where the former president isn't the featured candidate.  

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his presidential campaign by declaring, "I'm running to lead the Great American Comeback." It's a slogan Trump used in his 2020 State of the Union speech, and it was the title of a digital video released by the Trump White House previewing the address. 

Whether DeSantis intended to borrow the phrase from Trump or happened upon it on his own, the use of the quote prompted a quick response from the Trump campaign.
