DeSantis goes to battle with Florida Republicans in trying to get closer to Trump

Associated Press  

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — With an open presidential primary coming in 2028, Florida Gov. Last month, when DeSantis announced he was calling lawmakers into special session, House Speaker Daniel Perez told The Associated Press the legislature was “blindsided.” “I called him immediately,” Perez said. The governor said the legislature’s measure is a “betrayal” of conservative voters and naming it after the president is a “misnomer.” “President Trump has been very strong coming out of the gate on immigration enforcement. He said Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to the president and immigration hard-liner, gave lawmakers “technical guidance” and they made changes to the bill “to make sure we’re doing everything that the president’s team wants.” DeSantis has picked up some support along the way. U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, a key Trump ally who might run to replace the term-limited DeSantis next year, said his own relationship with the governor “got frayed” when Donalds backed Trump two years ago.
