Two more Republican members of Florida’s congressional delegation have announced their support for former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid, despite a plea from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to hold off on endorsements.
On Tuesday, Representatives Greg Steube and John Rutherford both issued endorsements of Trump’s potential candidacy, joining at least six other Republican members of Florida’s congressional delegation who have already done so.
DeSantis was in Washington on Tuesday to meet with congressional Republicans interested in his own potential presidential campaign. He had previously asked members of the state’s congressional delegation to refrain from endorsing Trump while he was still considering his own candidacy.
Trump has been vocal in his support of his own potential candidacy, and has been quick to accept endorsements from Republican members of Congress. His endorsements have been met with enthusiasm from his supporters, who have been vocal in their support of a potential 2024 run.
The endorsements from Steube and Rutherford come as DeSantis continues to weigh his own potential candidacy. It is unclear how the endorsements will affect his decision, or if they will have any impact on the potential race for the Republican nomination in 2024.
