"But Republican voters are making their voices heard loud and clear. They want to return to the leadership of Donald Trump."Andrew Romeo, the communications director for DeSantis' campaign, said in a statement that DeSantis "has the support of almost all Florida elected officials because he worked with them to deliver historic results for the conservative movement."

"The governor will win his home state because Floridians want to see a fighter who will bring the same type of results-oriented leadership to Washington that he has provided in the Sunshine State."The endorsement comes before Trump and DeSantis are both expected to speak at the Florida Republican Party's Freedom Summit this weekend.
