Ungrateful Ron DeSantis wouldn't be the Governor of Florida without Trump's endorsement...On Thursday, Ron DeSantis refused to commit to supporting 45th President Donald Trump if he is the GOP Presidential nominee. Key DeSantis Advisor Paul Ryan previously stated he would not attend the GOP Convention if Trump is the nominee. DeSantis continues to follow the Paul Ryan Playbook.A reporter asked DeSantis if he would support Trump as the GOP nominee.DeSantis responded, “So what I would say is this, um when you are saying Cuomo did better on COVID than Florida did, you are revealing yourself to just be full of...

As Ron DeSantis pursues the presidency, his wife’s role is limitless. Casey, 42, isn’t a typical political spouse. Why does that inspire so much fear? Her rise in TV and insular marriage tell the story.“Where is she at?”Ron was always asking.Ron DeSantis was in the middle of a picnic in Sioux Center, Iowa, bent over a homemade poster. Four photos, arranged in a neat grid, stared back at him: Ron and Casey, smiling on election night, 2022; Ron and Casey, smiling outside the governor’s mansion, 2021; a headshot of Ron; a headshot of Casey. The governor signed his name in...

DeSantis is being embraced by the worst of the worst…The DeSantis hypocrisy tour marches on, this time to an elite fundraiser in Washington D.C., hosted by woke Marc Lampkin. It is important to note that host committee members must raise $50,000 for the DeSantis campaign. Lampkin is a proud Bush supporter and works as one of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck’s top lobbyists. Lampkin has lobbied for child puberty blockers and big pharma. The fundraiser is scheduled to take place at the Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck Hyatt office.Lampkin’s work for Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck had him lobbying for Abbvie INC, a...

Donors who gave @RonDeSantis money for his gubernatorial re-election should ask his treasurer for refunds. This is fraudulent fundraising tactics. DeSantis solicited over $100 MILLION in campaign donations that were left over after his 2022 re-election and now he’s using that money to go after President Trump. $82.5 million was just transferred from DeSantis’s Gubernatorial committee to his Presidential PAC. Beyond shady and unethical. Trump voters who donated to @GovRonDeSantis for 2022 should file a lawsuit against Ron DeSantis for fraudulent fundraising tactics and should immediately ask for a REFUND. If enough people ask him for refunds, his donor platform...

Tesla got a carve-out. It’s a good day for auto dealers in the Sunshine State, and not so great for motorists who’d prefer a more direct route for buying a new coupe, sedan or SUV. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a measure (HB 637) banning most direct-to-consumer vehicle sales, solidifying the future viability of car-selling operations across the Sunshine State. The measure, championed and authored by lobbyists representing the Florida Automobile Dealers Association (FADA), prohibits automakers from selling vehicles directly to buyers.That restriction, which goes into effect July 1, was considered a direct threat to the business model of Tesla, an...

If Ron DeSantis wants to wrest front-runner status away from Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential race, he’s going to have to resolve his trouble with female voters. That’s one takeaway from a new poll by The Economist and YouGov, which illustrates that DeSantis is dragging with women voters, and is stronger with men. While DeSantis only trails Trump 48% to 26% with male voters, with former United Nations envoy Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina each taking 4% for a distant third, he’s doing much worse with women. In this survey, 54% of female...

Former President Donald Trump has pleaded not guilty to 37 charges related to alleged mishandling of classified documents. Trump’s lawyers asked for a jury trial during the former president’s arraignment Tuesday at a federal courthouse in Miami. “We most certainly enter a plea of not guilty,” Trump attorney Todd Blanche told the judge.

Team #Desantis is having some issues... Specifically, the man on man showering thing. @ErinMPerrine-Communications Director for @NvrBackDown24 is on top of it

Ron DeSantis gets a little excited that they might indict President Trump Not a chance Rob... Not a chance... A parody of the "So you're telling me there's a chance" scene from Dumb and Dumber.collab with @LEAHmemes

Pro-Trump Twitter erupted in pushing a clip of an Oklahoma crowd being prompted by their governor to clap for Ron DeSantis. 'Oklahomans love Ron DeSantis!' Stitt said. While the majority of the crowd was silent, one man yelled out: 'That's right.' The clip is a throwback to a viral moment on the 2016 Republican primary campaign trail when then-candidate Jeb Bush pleaded for a crowd to clap for him during a stump speech in New Hampshire.

Ron DeSantis’s campaign wants him to meet and take more questions from ordinary voters to overcome fears about his temperament, DailyMail.com has learned. The 44-year-old has so far shied away from Q&A sessions on the road, despite being a standard feature of U.S. politics. Now, three DeSantis staffers have said they have concerns about the Navy veteran’s presentational style after being overshadowed by his wife Casey at rallies. A third source said that they even had to coach the Florida governor on ‘when to smile’ when trying to interact with ordinary Americans.

Now more than ever, it is imperative that Americans hold the line and keep the faith. As Republicans in North Carolina know, we must have the discipline and the conviction to stand together when it counts...The future of our nation is worth fighting for, and we will not give up the fight until we win in 2024.

A major poll by the Democracy Institute contains bad news for the Biden regime, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and even Prince Harry. The poll does, however, contain plenty of good news for former President Donald Trump.Likely U.S. voters – 37 percent Democrats, 35 percent Republicans, and 28 percent Independents – were asked a range of questions from May 24th to May 26th, with their answers suggesting America in 2023 is “MAGA Country”. The data shows:Trump is preferred to DeSantis as the Republican nominee by 57 percent to 22 percent. None of the also-rans such as Nikki Haley or Mike Pence...

Flordia Governor Ron DeSantis has seen his net approval rating tank since he announced his bid for the presidency.A dynamic approval rating graph maintained by online pollster Civiqs puts DeSantis’s net approval at negative 19 points, with roughly 55 percent of respondents disapproving of him and 36 percent approving of him.As recently as December his approval and disapproval ratings were tied at 47 percent apiece.The findings appear to be further proof that DeSantis enjoyed no boost in support from his botched campaign launch, hosted by Elon Musk on Twitter Spaces.Reporting the Civiqs findings, Newsweek noted that Morning Consult polling shows...

The New Hampshire globalist is the latest Never Trumper to rear his head once again ahead of 2024.Last Updated on June 6, 2023Globalist New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu announced that he would not run for president because he wants all never-Trump Republicans to rally behind a candidate to stop Trump from winning the GOP Primary. Sununu recently said some very nice things about Ron DeSantis during the Florida Governor’s Trip to New Hampshire, signaling that DeSantis is the candidate that Sununu is talking about.In the WAPO, Sununu attacked Republicans aiming to be Trump’s VP, writing, “Too many other candidates who...

One of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s top D.C. fundraisers is a highly paid lobbyist for Big Pharma firm Moderna, and is advertising $1,000 tickets for access to DeSantis at his firm’s office a few blocks from the White House.The Daily Mail broke the story of lobbyist Marc Lampkin, one of the hosts of a DeSantis fundraiser in the swamp, on June 23rd.Lampkin has lobbied for Moderna since February 2021, and worryingly has also represented AbbVie – which makes puberty blocker Lupron targeted at “transgender” children – as well as the Chinese Communist Party-linked Fujian Jinhua – a semi-conductor manufacturer sanctioned...

The DeSantis campaign has recently taken to using a Big Tech fact check facility to attempt to deflect from criticism of the Florida Governor. DeSantis spokesman Christina Pushaw has recently been vocal about her support for the often dubious fact-checks. Her stance is a total U-turn on her previous commentary on such matters, and the change appears to have occurred immediately after Elon Musk hired a World Economic Forum CEO, and then hosted DeSantis for his campaign launch.April 2022: I agree. It is absurd to think that anyone, including “content moderators” “fact checkers” or “experts”, can be arbiters of truth....

A lobbyist for vaccine manufacturer Moderna and for the maker of a leading puberty blocker given to transgender children is holding a fundraising event for Ron DeSantis in Washington D.C. this month. It puts the Florida governor in an awkward position as he tries to ride anti-vaxxer sentiment and his record restricting gender-affirming treatment all the way to the White House. The controversy stems from an event to be held at the offices of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, D.C.'s biggest federal lobbying firm, on June 23. DeSantis supporters can buy a place with a $1,000 donation, according to an invitation...
