Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is taking his presidential campaign to Utah on Friday, prioritizing a state where rival Donald Trump has struggled in the past.
in a special counsel investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Among those set to appear with him on Friday is state Senate President Stuart Adams, who was one of the few Republicans to endorse Trump early in 2016 but who is now backing DeSantis. It has passed laws banning gender-affirming care for transgender kids and directing school boards to convene"sensitive materials" committees to weigh whether to remove certain books from school libraries — issues that have become a key feature of DeSantis' campaign message.
Asked if he thought Trump did not have great family values, Adams said,"No, I think he has a great family." He went on and said,"I think he loves his family." Trump has even lost one of his biggest supporters in Utah: Don Peay, who helped lead Trump's 2016 effort in Utah, went hunting with Trump's children and once said those who didn't support Trump need to"ask for forgiveness."
