Donald Trump Jr. followed in the footsteps of his father and ended Congressman Byron Donalds for Governor of Florida in a movement against Ron Desantis and his wife Casey.
The 46-year-old Donalds, who has served in the congress since 2021, soon became a favorite of the Maga movement.
The current Governor Desantis, however, has spoken to first Lady Casey for Governor, in the midst of Klets about her planning to launch her own bid after she was served as First Lady of Florida.
Trump's eldest son continued the relocation of the Van Desantis family with a full motivation of the most important potential rival of his wife.
“My friend Byron Donalds is a great patriot and has my complete approval to serve as the next Governor of Florida,” said Trump Jr. In a statement.
'Byron is a hunter and a real champion for our first movement in America. He will be a great leader for Florida and he will fight with my father to make America bigger than ever before! '
Don Jr., just like the rest of the Trump family, split with Desantis when the governor challenged his father for the Republican nomination in 2024.
He mocked a video from Desantis who had applied his makeup again during a GOP presidential debate.

The son of the former president placed the clip of the Florida Gov. Who received a touch -up, with the caption: 'Rhonda Santis', followed by smiling emojis.
In anticipation of Iowa's caucuses, he mainly took problems with the 2024 bid from Desantis and hit his father's competitor for his shoe choice and his loss of 'billionaire donors'.
'Who thinks it is acceptable for men to wear high heels while running for the Republican nomination? Everyone?' The oldest Trump son wondered, to which the public answered: “No!”
'And here is the thing – no one can care about whether he is short. It makes no one. Nobody doesn't care if you're short, “he went on. “You know what they care about – that you are so uncertain that you are overcompensing.”
“That's the kind of things that brings us into wars, right? It is that kind of uncertainty that you are pushed to do things that are probably not good for people's will, “said Don Jr. “And that is what we see from so many Rinos in Washington, DC at the moment.”
Now he seems to be at war again with Desantis about Donalds's candidacy for Governor.
President Donald Trump endorsed the congress member in a social media post at the end of February.
“I hear that the highly respected Congressman Byron Donalds is considering going for Governor of Florida, a state I love, and won in 2016, 2020 and 2024,” Trump wrote on February 20.

'Byron Donalds would be a really great and powerful governor for Florida and, if he decides to run, will have my full and total approval. Run, Byron, Run! “The president added.
Shortly thereafter, the congressman announced his intention to walk in an interview with Sean Hannity.
Although he was cautious to praise Governor Desantis to do a 'great work for our state', he did not immediately tackle the possibility that the wife of Desantis was running.
Before Donalds even announced his run, the Gop governor who was once reversed Trump's 2024 rival was asked about the Governor's race because he was limited in 2026, but he refused to endorse the congressman.
“My opinion is that Donald Trump has just been in office. I want these congress members to focus on carrying out his agenda. They haven't done much yet, “said Desantis.
Desantis played his performance with Republicans in his state as he criticized Donald's.
“He just wasn't part of the victories we have had here in recent years. He just didn't have part of it, “said the governor.
The governor won his re -election in 2022 with almost 20 points, but despite the fact that he roared his democratic opponent during the Midterms, he was not a party for Trump at national level when he launched his presidential offer in 2024.

However, it is still to be seen that will have more influence on Republicans in the State in an interim year.
Desantis continues to talk his wife Casey, 44, who is a vocal in favor of his work in Florida and Avid Campaigner.
“People ask me all the time about our great First Lady who has done fantastic work as First Lady of Florida,” said Desantis.
He also repeated his recent comments that she would do even better in Florida than during the last Gubernatorial Elections.
“I won with the biggest margin that the Republican once won a race of a governor here in Florida, she would do better than me, as if there was no doubt about that, that would happen,” he said.
The governor claimed that although the Republicans had a strong show in his state in the recent elections, it could change quickly.
“I would not consider anything for granted,” said Desantis.
The Governor said he would raise money, although he would not run next year and would like to 'build the success' that his party had in Florida.

Donald Trump often brags that he has 'made' the Desantis, after he approved him in his bid of 2018 for the Governor
Donalds who represents the 19th Congress district of Florida, including Fort Myers, conducted aggressive campaign for Trump in 2024.
He was even driven like a potential running buddy.
After Trump JD Vance as his vice -presidential pick chose, there were reports that Donalds set his sights on the race of the Governor of Florida and made that official instead …
“For a long time I have been in the trenches, in many of these fights, to deal with conservatism,” he said when he would run.
Donalds suggested that he would give priority to reducing insurance costs, promoting the cryptocurrency industry and the preservation of the waterways of the Everglades, the largest subtropical wilderness in the US
He worked as a financial adviser when he was GOV. Rick Scott appointed him to the board of directors of a state college and confirmed his rise in the state of Gop.
He entered the Florida house in 2016, won a chair in the American house in 2020 and has since been on the shortlist for several opportunities, including being nominated in January 2023 by the extreme right-wing wing of as a candidate for the house speaker.
In addition to Casey Desantis, other potential GOP candidates are former American rep. Matt Gaetz, who said in January that he considered a run, and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, although he recently fought with Desantis about immigration policy.
But the approval of Trump can clear the way for Donalds, given his dominance in Republican politics, especially in his adopted home. Trump established residence in Palm Beach during his first term.
Donalds, one of the most controversial black Republicans, would become the first African-American who serves as a governor if he wins.
Donalds and his wife, Erika Donalds, built up a reputation for working to transform public education and lead more taxpayers to private and charter schools. A former board member of the district school runs a company that supervises Charter schools and a virtual academy.
