NATIONAL HARBOR — Rep. Byron Donalds: A Rising Star in the Republican Party
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) has emerged as a prominent figure in the Republican Party, captivating the crowd at the American Conservative Union’s 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference. The former President Donald Trump-endorser exuded a vice presidential aura as he engaged with attendees at the event.
“Make America Florida,” one enthusiastic audience member shouted.
“Oh, we’re gonna,” Donalds, a Florida Republican, confidently shot back.
After his speech, Donalds spoke to the Washington Examiner at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. He was met with numerous requests from attendees, urging him to consider the role of vice president, potentially alongside Trump.
“You need to be VP,” one woman passionately expressed. “You need to be our VP, please.”
When asked if he would accept the role, Donalds swiftly replied, “Oh, yeah.”
Donalds emphasized his commitment to the job, stating, “I’ve been clear about this when people first started asking me if I would do it. I’d do the job. Because I just want to win.” He emphasized that his priority is the best interest of the country and expressed his willingness to contribute in various capacities.
“I didn’t come into this job to be a wallflower,” he asserted.
As Donalds made his way down media row at CPAC, he was greeted with gratitude and support from both men and women. Despite potential legal challenges faced by Trump, Donalds remained steadfast in his support, dismissing the charges as baseless and politically motivated.
“It doesn’t matter what these courts say because these courts are in violation of their oath,” the Florida Republican explained. He further criticized the prosecuting lawyers, stating that they “should be disbarred for what they’re doing.”
Addressing concerns about fundraising for the Republican National Committee and Trump’s campaign, Donalds expressed confidence in new leadership within the party to improve financial support.
“Look, I’m always concerned about fundraising,” he admitted. “But overall, with the RNC, the reason why a lot of people have not wanted to give money is because they were concerned about Republican leadership.”
Donalds anticipated a rebound in fundraising, possibly influenced by Trump’s recommendations for key positions within the party. He also criticized Biden and Democrats for allegedly misusing the law for political gain.
Regarding Trump’s legal expenses, Donalds dismissed them as commonplace for politicians, stating, “Any politician, any elected official, they all have legal funds where there is money that comes out of their campaign for their legal bills. Everybody does that. That is nothing out of the ordinary.”
