Gov. Ron DeSantis isn’t immediately embracing U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds as his successor, but the Congressman anticipates that the Dunedin Republican could come around.
“I would love to earn it,” the Congressman said of a potential DeSantis endorsement during an interview on “Clay and Buck.”
Even though DeSantis recently dissed Donalds as failing to be “a part of any of the victories that we’ve had here over the Left over these last years,” Donalds reminded the national audience of the time he defended DeSantis when he was accused of questionably coded language in the 2018 race for Governor.
“DeSantis had won the Primary and the radical Left tried to go at him because, you know, of a phrase he used referring to his opponent,” Donalds said, seemingly referring to DeSantis’ poorly worded worry that Andrew Gillum would “monkey this up” if elected Governor of Florida.
“I went and did media and stood in the gap for him because I believed he was going to be a great Governor. And I was proven right. He has been a great Governor. You know, I was there to help him win in 2018,” Donalds recounted.
“At the end of the day, I just want to be able to pick his brain,” Donalds added. “I know there’s a lot of advice he has. I want to be able to lean on that. And so I would love to be able to earn his support. And I think there’ll be a time for that.”
That time may not come anytime soon, given that DeSantis is boosting First Lady Casey DeSantis to succeed him in the top job.
“She’s somebody that has the intestinal fortitude and the dedication to conservative principles,” the Governor said earlier this week. “Anything we’ve accomplished, she’d be able to take to the next level.”

Obviously Trump’s attempt here could be misguided.
What could really save the USA money and turn the USA into the desired totalitarian MAGA haven he and his followers deserve and desire …. Would be to offer any American wishing to leave the USA five million to exit. The long term benefits would be stunning.
Try to imagine the 35 million California residents abandoning the State and taking their tremendous skills and prosperity to foreign countries. California has the sixth most prosperous and largest economy on planet earth.
If Trump would only offer $5 million dollars to Americans to exit this country he would have a hundred million requests within an hour.

Of course some folks in Florida are anxious to watch DJT’s pick take on Dee’s better half for Florida’s governor.
The spinning is already underway. Which one is the Great Malenko and which Eddie Graham?
