"Donalds, who was a top surrogate on the campaign trail last year for Trump, was interviewed a few days after Trump, at a closed-door fundraiser in New York City, suggested that if Donalds ran for Florida governor in 2026, he'd have "many friends in the race."

And former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who was Trump's first choice for attorney general in his second administration before dropping out amid controversy, has also said he's thinking of running." (!!!)

With Florida, which was once a top general election battleground state, now firmly red, the slowly emerging gubernatorial battle may be determined by whom Trump, the GOP's kingmaker in his adopted home state of Florida and across the country, may eventually back.

But not to be discounted is any possible endorsement by DeSantis in the race to succeed the governor."

'

All we need now is Hulk Hogan (upon retiring to FL) to enter the Race. He might win.

Although he got it expunged, MAGAts will probably give this lunatic full credit for his felony conviction.

Actually, it's where some serious MAGAt hypocrisy comes into play.

And the charge, to which Donald's plead no contest, was felony theft to defraud a bank.
