Top House Republican Endorses Ron DeSantis For President

Rep. Chip Roy (Republican from Texas) announced Wednesday he would support Ron DeSantis as Florida Republican Governor in 2024, despite DeSantis not yet launching a presidential bid.

Roy, prominent Tea Party conservative and member of Freedom Caucus said in a statement, “The next president must be a Tea Party conservative.” “a vibrant and energetic leader with the faith, vision, and courage to chart a new course.”

The long statement did not mention Trump, but instead focused on DeSantis strengths and why Roy thinks DeSantis is the best man for the job.

“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 began.

“As Governor, he unequivocally has made Florida stronger and freer. Economic growth and prosperity in Florida surged upon his firm rejection of the devastating COVID mandates foisted upon us by foolishly empowered Washington bureaucrats,” He continued. “He stared down woke corporate America and higher education. And he stood with Texas in defense of our border — sending a message to elites in Martha’s Vineyard that they cannot ignore the human and economic toll of open borders.”

“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,” The statement was continued. “He strives to unite us again as one people under the banner of freedom and equal opportunity — with the courage to stand athwart the destructive divisiveness of identity politics or the temptation to pander.”

Roy noted DeSantis’ win in the election last year and how the governor helped Republicans win the state in dominant fashion. “When other Republicans were faltering in key races, Governor DeSantis provided a positive vision for the future with prudent, conservative action,” He stated. “The result was crystal clear: Republicans enjoyed sweeping, historic performances statewide.”

DeSantis, a veteran, would be leading the U.S. “as commander in chief with the kind of resolve and sober strength that produces peace through strength.”

“America has been built upon and defined by the sacrifices of one generation for the next,” The statement was concluded. “When Republicans choose our 2024 presidential nominee — whom I intend to support against Joe Biden or any other Democrat candidate — I believe it’s time for a new generation of leadership. 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.”

Ken Cuccinelli is an immigration activist who was Acting Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security and Acting Director of U.S. The endorsement was praised by Cuccinelli on Twitter. Cuccinelli launched A PAC urged DeSantis to run last week.
