U.S. Rep. Randy Fine is taking a victory lap and saying Gov. Ron DeSantis’ recurrent, vitriolic criticisms of his just-concluded campaign don’t bother him.
“I don’t think the Governor’s ever forgiven me for standing with Donald Trump when the Governor chose to take him on,” Fine said on “Mornings with Maria,” referring to Fine swapping his endorsement from DeSantis to Trump in the 2024 Presidential Primary.
“What I would say is this: I got the same margin when I ran for the seat this time as Gov. DeSantis did when he ran the first time. I’m not interested in setting petty political scores. My focus is running up the score for the people of the 6th Congressional District. So I’m really not going to worry about what he has to say.”
The Governor called Fine a “squish” who “repels people” on Wednesday just before the new legislator was sworn in.
Fine suggested that the Governor’s words are motivated by his own fading political influence.
“As I said yesterday, a bright star gets very shiny before it goes out. I think that’s what we’re seeing in Florida,” Fine said.
