Former President Trump pads his endorsement and polling lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican presidential nomination race.
"Ron DeSantis is blinded by ambition. Every day that goes by the party becomes more solidified behind President Trump. Those who know Ron best have abandoned him. If he doesn’t start to read the room he’s not just throwing away 2024, but his entire political career," Taylor Budowich, CEO of the pro-Trump super PAC MAGA Inc. argued in a statement to Fox News.
"I think it’s time to have someone who’s not a baby boomer, somebody who can serve for two terms," Roy said this week in a Fox News Channel interview, as he made a generational argument for DeSantis. While many of the Florida lawmakers who have backed Trump have long been strong supporters of the former president, Rep. Byron Donalds, who endorsed Trump earlier this month, is a DeSantis ally. Donalds spoke at the governor’s victory celebration last November, when DeSantis was overwhelming re-elected to a second term in Tallahassee, and praised him as"America’s governor."
