Ok ... still waiting for DeSantis to make a formal announcement.
Ex-Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes endorses DeSantis for 2024: ‘Best possible option to win the presidency’ A former adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns backed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Tuesday, saying the 44-year-old “represents the best possible option to win the presidency in 2024 and to govern as a highly capable, patriotic populist leader.”
“I have worked as a dedicated spokesman and advocate for Donald Trump for much of the last seven years, so I do not arrive at that conclusion flippantly,” Steve Cortes wrote in a Newsweek op-ed announcing his endorsement.
“But our America First movement has always been bigger and more important than any one individual, and heading into this crucial election, our activism and our votes must be guided by a clear-eyed assessment of recent failures and potential future successes.”
Cortes, now an adviser to the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down, said voters should opt out of a Biden-Trump rematch next year.
“The country is miserable,” Cortes said. “That’s not some biased or uninformed right-wing opinion, but the harsh reality revealed by data and evidence.”.................
