Ron DeSantis' team tries to stop Florida Republicans from endorsing Trump

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ political operation has started calling Republican members of the Florida congressional delegation in an effort to consolidate support after four members publicly backed Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential bid.

Sources with four of the six members contacted by DeSantis' team shared the outreach with NBC News; each requested anonymity to confirm the calls.

As Trump continues to lead in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination, the governor is trying to stop defections in his own backyard ahead of his expected run. DeSantis currently has no endorsements from the state delegation.

The efforts by the governor's team started after Trump picked up the backing of Rep. Byron Donalds, who has been a DeSantis ally. The earlier three endorsements were from Reps. Anna Paulina Luna, Matt Gaetz and Cory Mills, who are vocal Trump boosters and whose support wasn't surprising.

And beating him by twenty points. It remains to be seen whether or not he can survive his legal woes thru the primaries and into the general, if he does become the nominee.

Of course, Trump would use eye pokes and shots below the belt.

But then there's this:

WWE Star Reveals Donald Trump Had To Wear A Diaper At Wrestlemania

https://www.benchwarmers.ie/wwe-star-reveals-donald-trump-had-to-wear-a-diaper-at-wrestlemania/223027/

WWE Legend Dave Bautista has broken an inside secret about Donald Trump from WrestleMania 23 that the President of the United States had to wear a diaper when being involved in the ring with Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Donald Trump appeared at WrestleMania 23 to manage a show match called the ‘Battle of the billionaires’ where Stone Cold was the referee and they got into an altercation when certain things go his way.

Trump seemed to have been expecting the unexpected as he is seen wearing a large adult diaper in screenshots.

Ron is a sycophant but he impresses no one that will help him. Wonder what he will do in retirement?
