Politico reports:
Former President Donald Trump wants a Republican to mount a primary challenge to Rep. Laurel Lee, the lone member of Florida’s congressional delegation to endorse Gov. Ron DeSantis in his unsuccessful bid for president.
Lee, who won a crowded GOP primary two years ago in a safe red district, served as Florida’s top election official under DeSantis and resisted calls by a faction of vocal Republicans and Trump supporters to do a complete audit of the 2020 election in the state.
Trump late Sunday night posted on his social media platform that he wants someone to run in the central Florida district against Lee. “Any great MAGA Republicans looking to run against Laurel Lee in Florida’s 15th Congressional District? IF SO, PLEASE STEP FORWARD!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Read the full article. Lee last appeared here in December when she claimed that the US Border Patrol works as “travel agents” for migrants.
If he only attacked Dems like he does Republicans.
Laurel Lee is a solid conservative congresswoman, was a great FL SecState, but endorsed DeSantis early the primary.
She then endorsed Trump, but he’s too petty to be gracious so he’s now putting another red seat in jeopardy. pic.twitter.com/IfaaxL5Vww
