Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced his support for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Saturday despite his former boss Donald Trump's disapproval.
DeSantis will be facing off against Democratic candidate and former Gov. Charlie Crist on Tuesday for the governor's seat in Florida, yet many have speculated the popular incumbent could do well as a presidential candidate. Trump bragged that over 70% of Republicans surveyed in a Rasmussen poll in September wanted him to be president again, while only 10% supported DeSantis, who he has dubbed"DeSanctimonious.
"Not tired of winning. [DeSantis,] you’ve proven conservative policies work. Florida is better for it. Vote for [DeSantis]," Pompeo tweeted. Not tired of winning. @GovRonDeSantis you’ve proven conservative policies work. Florida is better for it.
DeSantis has raised $177.4 million for his reelection campaign as of Sept. 9, the newest record for a gubernatorial campaign without adjusting for inflation, according to Open Secrets. The organization also analyzed the fundraising efforts of the top 20 presidential contenders at the time, finding that DeSantis has raised more money since January 2021 than Trump or President Joe Biden.
