Florida’s Governor is branching out as the General Election approaches.
Ron DeSantis is making an appeal in Wisconsin for Eric Hovde, a “conservative entrepreneur and father” who hopes to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.
“The Democrats know this seat is in danger, so they stand poised to unleash a flood of national dollars against Eric,” DeSantis said on behalf of the RON PAC.
Hovde, per DeSantis, could be part of a “new crop of heroic conservative leaders in our country” if elected.
This fundraising appeal shows DeSantis’ willingness to “help nationally” ahead of the November election, something he said he would do after leaving the presidential race this year.
It was perhaps to be expected.
Hovde was in Florida in January for a fundraiser including DeSantis donor Ken Griffin, who donated millions of dollars to DeSantis’ campaigns and is backing the Governor’s fight against constitutional amendments that could remove state abortion bans and allow adults to use marijuana.
Democrats denounced the trip.
“When Eric Hovde isn’t partying it up in California, he’s getting invited to fly to Florida to meet with billionaires who want to bankroll his campaign. The corporate billionaire and hedge fund managers back Hovde because he wants to go to the Senate to fight for them, not for working Wisconsinites,” said Democratic Party of Wisconsin Rapid Response Director Arik Wolk at the time.
Back at the beginning of his presidential campaign, DeSantis visited Wisconsin and said the state could learn from the Sunshine State.
“I come bearing good news and you may say what good news is there. Republicans have had a series of disappointing election results, not just here in Wisconsin, but really across the country,” DeSantis said in 2023. “So, what’s the good news? The good news is the State of Florida and what we’ve achieved shows Republicans can win again.”
Polls of the race show Baldwin ahead by around 5 points.

I hope the Florida taxpayers are not funding DeSantis’s political junket! After Trump’s deplorable debate showing ….. Republicans need to simply put Wisconsin in their rear view mirror!

“When Florida sends its’ people, its’ not sending their best….”
Like Rick Scott going to Georgia, these folks are walking advertisements for bad public policy whether it’s tax breaks for the wealthy, capitulation to Russia, intrusion of religion into places and decision making where it’s constitutionally prohibited or the magnification of our differences in order to win elections.
Hovde must be as weird as Desantis or he wouldnt be wasting taxpayer funds to go there.
