Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's team threw shade at former President Donald Trump after the former was endorsed by 99 GOP lawmakers in his state.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis stopped by a Buc-ee's for a surprise book signing on March 2, 2023.
"It's no surprise that Ron DeSantis and his political cronies have continued to terrorize the Florida legislature with the threat of his veto pen if they don't acquiesce to his demand to endorse his candidacy," campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung said in a statement. "There are some brave legislators who have stood up to DeSantis' Swamp-like behavior and resisted his intimidation tactics in order to do what is right for Florida and the country. Those who he can't control — including almost the entirety of the Florida federal congressional delegation — have endorsed President Trump because he's the only candidate who can beat Joe Biden and take back the White House," he added.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media during an election night event at Mar-a-Lago on November 08, 2022, in Palm Beach, Florida.
