Former President Donald Trump has gained significantly more congressional support in Florida than Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is not expected to announce his formal bid for president until May or June.
promptly rained on that parade with a shower of endorsements, several of them from their shared home state.Florida’s congressional delegation
As pressure mounted over Trump’s racking up endorsement wins in Florida, DeSantis on Tuesday announced the backing of Republican Rep. Laurel Lee. It is the only endorsement he has from his home state delegation. Lee was DeSantis’ first secretary of state. DeSantis spent most of his first term in office building a reputation among national conservatives as the aspirational ideal of what a governor should be, in large part because of a hands-off approach to the Covid pandemic. But after Trump formally announced in November that he was again running for president, DeSantis has been bludgeoned with near-daily attacks from the notoriously pugilistic former president.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said: “We’re strategically rolling out endorsements to coincide with events that we put on. There’s a strategic way to do it to get the most bang out of your buck. We’re being very cognizant of that; we’re being very deliberate. There’s a plan for all of this.” “I met with Governor DeSantis, and while he has done commendable work in Florida, there is no doubt in my mind that President Trump is the only leader who can save America from the leftist onslaught we are currently facing,” Gooden said in a statement.Overall, Trump has endorsements from more than 50 members of Congress: 42 House members and nine senators. DeSantis has just three, all from House members.
