Donald Trump: Scoring Florida Congressional Endorsements: Former President Donald Trump is playing the endorsement game to “one up” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and he has been quite successful in recruiting Sunshine State delegation congressional endorsements. How much such support will help the former President is yet to be determined, but he now has eleven Florida House members in his camp versus just one for the state’s Governor.
Publicly endorsing Mr. Trump are Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Ft. Walton Beach), John Rutherford (R-Jacksonville), Mike Waltz (R-St. Augustine Beach) from the district that Mr. DeSantis previously represented, Cory Mills (R-New Smyrna Beach), Gus Bilirakis (R-Palm Harbor), Anna Paulina Luna (R-St. Petersburg), Vern Buchanan (R-Sarasota), Greg Steube (R-Sarasota), Byron Donalds (R-Naples), Brian Mast (R-Ft. Pierce), and Carlos Gimenez (R-Miami). The lone DeSantis endorsement comes from freshman Rep. Laurel Lee (R-Tampa). Pennsylvania: Trump Concerned About Mastriano: Reports are surfacing on Twitter that former President Trump is expressing anxiety that state Senator and former gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano (R-Chambersburg) would hurt his own campaign if the latter man were to run for the Senate and win the party nomination. Sen. Mastriano is a strong supporter of Mr. Trump’s, but his poor 2022 general election campaign for Governor netted him only a 56-42% loss to then-Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D). Again having Mastriano on the general election ballot would likely cost Republicans up and down the entire ballot because another poor campaign for one of the top offices would likely depress GOP turnout.
