“Wow! In a big upset, the DeSanctimonious backed Republican candidate for Mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, LOST. This is a shocker,” Trump wrote.
Following the Donna Deegan victory and Daniel Davis loss, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to try and pin the Republican loss on Florida Governor Ron Desantis. Desantis endorsed Davis.
“If they would have asked me to Endorse, he would have won, easily. Too proud to do so. Fools! This is a BIG LOSS for the Republican Party.” News4jax spoke with Ed Dean who’s the host of “The Ed Dean Radio Show”, a conservative radio show based in Jacksonville. He said that statement mischaracterizes what happened. “It’s nothing but spin. I mean if you really want to talk about spinning this, let’s talk about who was on the board with the Daniel Davis campaign. It was nothing but Trump allies,” said Dean. “If you look at Desantis’ record versus Trump’s in Florida. And by the way I’ll throw this back to some of my Trump friends.
Dean’s audience is mostly made up of Trump and Desantis supporters and he said the loss by Davis was a major talking point on his radio show Wednesday morning. He said the Desantis endorsement of Davis didn’t cause the loss. He pointed to the contentious primary where there was a considerable amount of negative advertising that targeted other local Republicans like LeAnna Cumber and Al Ferraro. “They were very frustrated. Turned off. We were talking to the business community.
