Gov. Ron DeSantis’ political operation has started calling Republican members of the Florida congressional delegation to consolidate support after four members publicly backed Donald Trump in his 2024 presidential bid.
Sources with four of the six members contacted by DeSantis' team shared the outreach with NBC News; each requested anonymity to confirm the calls.
As Trump continues to lead in the polls for the GOP presidential nomination, DeSantis is trying to stop defections in his own backyard ahead of his expected run. DeSantis has no endorsements from the state delegation.
The efforts started after Trump picked up the backing of Rep. Byron Donalds, who has been a DeSantis ally. The three earlier endorsements were from Reps. Anna Paulina Luna, Matt Gaetz and Cory Mills, who are vocal Trump boosters and whose support wasn't surprising.
Since Donalds came out for Trump, DeSantis' team has called at least six members of Florida’s congressional delegation, asking that they hold off on making any endorsements in the near future.

Wow! This guy looks more like “JEB!” every passing day. All we need yet is, “Please applaud.”
Why are you posting Nothing But Communits lies.
Wow, NBC has you hook, line and sinker huh. “ “Sourses say.” Antichrist media lies.
Believing nbc now?
Wait until 2028, Ron. You’ll be so much more powerful.
Don’t make the lamestream media ecstatic.
Yeah, I always turn to NBC for my info on the Republican primary. NOT!
the MSM are dividing us and some of you bought it.
Personally if I were younger I would start a huge rally (boats or something) for Trump. He needs something positive to show him that MAGA is standing behind him.
Roger Stone slices and dices DeSantis. I actually felt bad for the Governor after reading and watching the clips.

Antichrist nbc suckered you in food.
Good.
And instead of selling guac bowls, he can sell Trump voodoo dolls
DeSantis is floating on the denial river. Hes not part of the plan. Its not going to happen.
I voted for DeSantis and I like DeSantis, but, moves like this angers me, and I might never support him again, not for 2024 or 2028, against anybody.
It's going to end with a Democrat House, Senate, and White House after the 2024 elections.
So, yes. Not well.
