WASHINGTON (TND) —

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will head to the nation's capital next week to meet with congressional Republicans ahead of his expected announcement to run for president in 2024.

The National Desk (TND) has independently verified that the Republican governor of the Sunshine State will participate in a policy discussion in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, hosted by a nonprofit backing DeSantis as the GOP's next presidential candidate called "And to the Republic."

The event is being put on in partnership with the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Well-known Republican lawmakers such as, Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., Darin LaHood, R-Ill., Thomas Massie, R-Ky., Chip Roy, R-Texas and Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah will reportedly be in attendance.

The visit to the nation's capital to talk policy comes amid a bump in GOP primary polling in favor of former President Donald Trump, who has already announced his bid to run for President in 2024.

DeSantis appeared to be gaining steam over Trump at the end of last year and the early part of 2023, but since Trump's indictment by a New York grand jury, the former president's GOP primary polling has started surging again.

According to polling group Morning Consult, Trump is leading DeSantis by 33-points

A search of the address on this invitation for the @GovRonDeSantis event shows that it is @Heritage Foundation.

Darin LaHood, R-Ill.

LaHood?! LaHood?! That name makes Bush look MAGA. He was GIVEN a seat where he could be elected UNOPPOSED in the state Senate.

His father Ray LaHood was OBAMA'S Secretary of Transportation and wanted to spend money on trains to nowhere (If you build it they will come). He also wanted get Americans out of cars. Not just indistingushable from a Democrat, indistinguishable from a hard left Democrat.

This is the final battle. Either we win or they win and the republic is lost forever. This is it. Are you up for the challenge?

NOOOOOO!!!!!!...so says Mike Lee apparently.

Just to be fair ... and I’m no Trump Enthusiast ....

Those charges are the most chickenshit indictment and prosecution in the history of the Republic.

I’ve made no secret of favoring DeSantis. Had he been going to meet with Jim Jordan or Rand Paul I would have been impressed. He’s looking like another sellout.

From what I’m reading on it, the half-life of these charges
are already decaying.

not claiming he didn’t, however that does not equate to being the right guy for the presidency at this time.

> educate yourself...

what, as in your opinion is somehow inherently better than mine, with no further justification than it just is?

> your willful ignorance is on full display...

sure, jan...
