Donald Trump wants not only to beat Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the Republican nomination, but to embarrass him in their shared home state
For Sat PMs — Former President Donald Trump is expanding his support in Florida as he seeks to bury the presidential ambitions of Gov. Ron DeSantis in their shared home state. Trump in recent days was endorsed by U.S. Sen. Rick Scott and state lawmaker Randy Fine, a longtime DeSantis ally who has advised him on Israel. He'd already secured the support of the majority of the state's Republicans in Congress. And more Florida Republicans may soon follow.
A Des Moines Register poll published Monday finds him tied in Iowa with Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor who served as United Nations ambassador under Trump. Both stood at 16%, 27 percentage points behind the former president. Trump has ripped DeSantis as disloyal for running against him and his campaign has for weeks been mocking DeSantis' laugh and interactions with voters.
