The Floridian reports:
Gov. Ron DeSantis weighed in on the 2026 governor’s race on Monday by lashing out at Donald Trump’s candidate, Byron Donalds, for failing to help defeat “the left” in Florida while suggesting his wife, Casey DeSantis, would be the stronger pick in the 2026 race. This is the first time DeSantis hasn’t brushed off rumors that his wife, a former reporter, could run for Florida’s chief executive position.
“You got a guy like Byron, he just hasn’t been a part of any of the victories that we’ve had here over the left over these last years. He’s just not been a part of it. He’s been in other states campaigning, and that’s fine, but okay, well then deliver results up there!”, DeSantis said. “I won by the biggest margin that any Republican’s ever won a governor’s race here in Florida—she would do better than me, there’s no question about that,” DeSantis said.
Read the full article. Donalds hasn’t yet filed to run but Trump endorsed him last week in a post on Truth Social. Trump’s endorsement came an hour after a Florida poll showed Casey DeSantis leading the prospective GOP field by a wide margin, with Matt Gaetz in second place and Donalds a distant third.
Pretty big: swipes at Byron while exalting Casey days after Trump endorsed Donalds, even though DeSantis was allegedly planning to lobby the president to support his wife instead
