Multiple Florida lawmakers threw their support behind Trump the same day DeSantis was in Washington trying to court Congress. It wasn’t a coincidence.
belly-laughing over how much Trump had — in their verbiage — “cuck[ed]”on securing endorsements from the state’s congressional delegation, according to three sources familiar with the internal chatter.
Team Trump’s rollout of Florida endorsements on Tuesday was part of a plan to subvert DeSantis in his own state that the former president’s staff has been working on for more than a month, sources say. Trump’s aggressive, weeks-long outreach to secure Florida Republican endorsers this early in the game has been spearheaded by top aides like Brian Jack and Susie Wiles, with the ex-president at times getting personally involved as well, the sources say.
By this past weekend, Trump’s inner circle was convinced they had a number of new Florida lawmakers ready to announce their support. Previously, the idea was to release the endorsements at once, likely Thursday or Friday of this week.
