Matt Gaetz flirts with a run for Florida governor, adding a bit of chaos to the race
Talhaasi, Florida-The former deputy, Matt Gitz, a close ally of President Donald Trump, is still considering running for the position of governor of Florida-a development that has already held a Republican law with a candidate carried by Trump, and perhaps the current wife of the ruler.
Trump hAS Backed Representative Bayron Donalds, R-FLA, told the 2026 race, and Trump’s advisor said that only the support of Donalds-Donalds-“was appointed” regardless of what was happening. But with the wife of Gaetz and GOV. Ron Desantis, Casey, in the wings, the field remains unstable.
Trump in Florida won 13 percentage points last year, while he is considered a royal maker in the state, his support for Donalds did not wipe this field. There is a belief that the elementary field of the Republican Party has not yet been appointed, according to 10 national and general Republican activists that NBC News met, including those who are directly participating in the race. Many of them asked not to disclose his identity by speaking frankly.
The thinking process that settles that Gaetz sees an opportunity if both Donals and Casey Desantis are giving. It can open the opportunity for a dark horse candidate to win the Republican Party nomination with a dark horse candidate to win the Republican nomination with nearly 30 % of the vote.
“He died always thinking-I could see him seeing a potential multi-directional race that gives him an opportunity to appear to run,” said a veteran activist in Florida Republican.
Gaetz, whom Trump initially nominated to be his prosecutor – just to see the nomination passes Fears about the allegations of past sexual behavior He does nothing to reduce the growing people, and he is once again thinking about running for the ruler. Gaetz, a news broadcaster for conservative TV network Oan, has repeatedly denied allegations of sexual misconduct.
He told NBC News on Monday: “I host a TV program on Onerican News,” he told NBC News on Monday. “Casey is right in one thing: it’s very early. Many tectonic paintings can turn into Florida next year or so.”
Casey Desantis told correspondents this month that she understood the reason “It is a big conversation, but I will also say that it is more than a year away from the qualifiers.” He was widely believed that he was considering running for the public state lawyer, but this changed over the past few weeks when he publicly started publishing his support for Cassie’s potential study.
Gaetz’s praise was noticeable; He went over and over after Casey Desantis, including in his offer, About the hope scandal in Florida.
“Matt used to use the truly tried and true Gaetz courtesy.” “He believes a triple race will be used to him, and he thinks” Why not me? “To double [Trump] support.”
Republicans in the legislative body were investigating whether the Desantis administration was illegally used 10 million dollars associated with the level of Medicaid Federal To help defeat the 2024 polling scale to legitimize the entertainment marijuana in the state. One of the groups that the money flowed along the way was Hop Florida, an organization linked to the first lady.
The legislature has dropped its achievement, but Tamba Bay Times/Miami Herald stated on Tuesday that this effort The investigation is now underway By Lyon Jacques Camp County.
On Tuesday, Ron Desantis defended Hop Florida, which aims to provide grants to assist the low -income country residents to become more self -sufficiently self -sufficient.
“I believe in this program deeply, and I stand next to it 100 %Desantis said.
Donals is largely the first for Trump’s support, but also because it has already collected more than $ 14 million-including a large amount of the national donation network in Trump. Among the main national donors of Donalds Jeff Yas ($ 5 million), Richard Uhlin (million dollars) and Thomas Petrovi (one million dollars).
Meanwhile, Casey Desantis was seen as certain that she would nominate her to replace her husband, who was designed for the duration, but the scandal that focused on hope in Florida, has changed this enthusiasm over the past few weeks.
Last week, she and her husband held General events For the noise and defense of Hope Florida, a sign of many that it works to restore the narration about the social welfare group – and is still considering running for the position of ruler.
One of the Republican workers said that Casey Desantis thinks that the press conference held by and the ruler about hope in Florida this week “was aimed at be a new experimental balloon due to a possible nomination.”
“It seems that there is no one else that the ruler could find, so he returned to pushing his wife,” the operator said.
Taryn Fenske, a Desantis World, refused to comment on this article.
Currently, Fenske is among the only advisors working in the Desantis political machine, which raises questions about this process. A series of long participants who worked for Ron Desantis, including in the failed presidential attempt, do not think about working at Casey Desantis if they are nominated. Florida survey, Ryan Tyson, who was the main pillar of Ron Desantis’s presidential campaign, and the best donation campaign for 2024, McKinsey Macharr, It is among those who intend to sit in a width of his wife.
“The first thing you need is a general consultant and a fundraising,” said one of the national Republican workers who has not yet corresponded to the race. “She has nothing. This should be the starting point, and I don’t know how to pass it.”
Trump’s foot Double support In the preparatory elections of the Republican Party in the Arizona Governor Race, his advisers told NBC News not to expect him to do so again in any race, including the Florida Governor Competition.
Trump advisers also see Donalds who do what is necessary to refer to Trump is ready to work to preserve the competitors of the other potential Republican Party immunized.
“You have to work for something like that, and we see that he is doing it.” “There is no reason that President Trump deviates at this stage.”
The developments after the legislative session of Florida, which, after an extension due to the state budget battle, will be taken until the end of June.
“All the eyes are on Casey and what she was decided to do,” my Republican said long for her thinking of her thinking. “The decision after the session is expected, and even decides in one way or another, everything remains in a state of flow.”
