Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is trying to demonstrate his viability against former President Donald Trump in their shared home state
Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis addresses attendees at the Republican Party of Florida Freedom Summit, Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023, in Kissimmee, Fla. T-shirts. But he discounted those items from their original $25 down to $5, an 80% discount on the Florida governor's name. The excess inventory needed to go, Crotty said.
Yet hours before DeSantis took the stage, the Trump campaign announced a slate of endorsements from Florida lawmakers who had previously backed the governor. Trump already had secured support from a majority of Florida's U.S. House delegation. The latest flips, first reported by The Messenger, came two days after U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, DeSantis’ predecessor as governor, announced his support for Trump, and when Scott reaffirmed his choice Saturday, Florida Republicans roared.
“This happens in these things,” he told reporters, flanked by top legislative leaders, Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez and several sheriffs. “We've had flips the other way in other states. It's a dynamic thing. Politicians do what they're going to do.” This coming week, DeSantis will join several candidates in Miami for the third Republican debate. Trump will skip, again, and hold a competing event in the nearby suburb of Hialeah.
DeSantis' super political action committee then began selling a set of golf balls with the inscription, “Ron DeSantis has a pair.” Responded Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung: “Ron DeSantis is so broke he needs to sell his balls to strangers in order make rent and keep the lights on.”
