Staff Reports
Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is not showing up to the Republican National Committee’s primary debate on Wednesday alone. Oh no, he’s bringing a whole entourage of supporters with him! It’s like a red carpet event, but instead of movie stars, it’s filled with conservative politicians who are eager to show their support for the Florida governor.
Representatives Chip Roy, Laurel Lee, Rich McCormick, and Governor Kevin Stitt are just a few of the big names who will be attending the debate to stump for DeSantis. They are ready to talk the talk and walk the walk to help DeSantis secure a win. And guess what? Fox News will be there to broadcast the debate, so DeSantis is making sure his supporters are well-represented. Reps. Roy and Stitt will even be sent to the network’s post-debate “spin room” to spin some favorable narratives about DeSantis. It’s all about getting that positive media coverage, folks!

But it’s not just politicians who will be making the trip to support DeSantis. His campaign has been working hard to assemble a team of surrogates who can hit the airwaves and defend his policies. They’ve been coordinating with endorsers, advisers, and contributors to get the message out there that DeSantis is the man for the job. They’re leaving no stone unturned, folks!
And let’s not forget about the state lawmakers who are flocking to Wisconsin on behalf of DeSantis. Lawmakers from Florida, Iowa, and South Carolina are all coming together to show their support. They believe in DeSantis’s 2024 presidential bid, and they’re willing to travel across the country to make that known. It’s a true show of dedication, and it’s exactly what DeSantis needs to keep his momentum going.
But here’s the real kicker: even former Trump officials are jumping on the DeSantis train. Christian Whiton, former senior adviser in the Trump and George W. Bush administrations, and Alex Gray, former special assistant to Trump and chief of staff at the National Security Council, will both be attending the debate in support of DeSantis. It’s like a reunion of the Trump team, and they’re all ready to back DeSantis with their full force.
All in all, it’s clear that DeSantis has a strong support system behind him. From politicians to former officials to big-time donors, everyone is rallying behind the Florida governor. And why wouldn’t they? DeSantis has proven himself to be a strong conservative leader who gets things done. He’s a rising star in the Republican Party, and with this level of support, there’s no doubt that he’s a force to be reckoned with. Watch out, America, because DeSantis is coming for you!
