2nd GOP Rep Endorses DeSantis For President
On Wednesday, a Republican in the United States House of Representatives endorsed Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for President of the United States, even though DeSantis has not yet announced his candidacy.
Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie, who served alongside DeSantis from 2013 to 2018, has called on Republicans to support DeSantis.
In a statement released by the Never Back Down PAC, Massie wrote, “America needs a leader who is decisive, respects the Constitution, understands policy, puts family first, and leads by inspiring. That’s why I’m endorsing Ron DeSantis for President.”
Continuing on, Massie stated, “During the six years we served together in Congress, I witnessed Ron fight for economic freedom, personal liberty, fiscal responsibility, and constitutionally limited government.” He also applauded DeSantis’s leadership decisions in both his congressional office and as Governor of Florida, noting that the Governor has always surrounded himself with like-minded people.

Massie had previously criticized former House Speaker Paul Ryan for not allowing legislators to examine and debate bills in the House. Massie also had an open confrontation with hard-Left Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) last week regarding gun control, during which he argued for better school security.
Massie’s endorsement of DeSantis follows one from Texas Representative Chip Roy, who said, “America needs a leader who will truly defend her and empower the people against the destructive force of unrestrained government and corporate excess, profligate spending, and woke cultural indoctrination.”
Roy’s statement continued, “His style of no-nonsense government and fearless rejection of woke ‘conventional wisdom’ has demonstrated an appeal to all of us based on our shared values as Americans… It’s time for younger, but proven, leadership to offer America eight solid years of transformational change. It’s time for Ron DeSantis to be President of the United States.”
