Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday touted the conservative credentials of First Lady Casey DeSantis while raising questions about Congressman Bryon Donalds, a Naples Republican backed last week by President Donald Trump for a possible 2026 gubernatorial bid.
The Florida first lady and the representative have not declared their gubernatorial bids, but Donalds has Trump's endorsement.
DeSantis, who has arguably risen to become the most powerful governor in Florida history, may leave office without someone determined to preserve his legacy.
