go out of their way to humiliate the governor on Trump’s behalf were hesitant to suggest, in any way, that they would consider endorsing him. They said
there just to hear the guy out, or say hi. Maybe to try a canape or two. Certainly not to endorse him!The Gooden debacle came as DeSantis continued to be embarrassed in his own backyard. The Trump campaign has been working to pick off endorsements from Florida’s House delegation—and is having quite a bit of success.

It worked, in one case, with freshman Florida Rep. Laurel Lee. She endorsed DeSantis this week. But Trump tripled DeSantis’ tally, with Florida Reps. John Rutherford, Brian Mast, and Greg Steube. MAGA Inc., the primary super PAC assisting Trump’s campaign, has been sending out deliriously giddy press releases tracking the process, with subject lines like “Ron DeSantis and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Tuesday” and “Yet Another Florida Congressman Endorses Trump.
Steube said that DeSantis has never once reached out to him during his five years in Congress. One time, he said, DeSantis’ team invited him to a news conference following Hurricane Ian, but then told him he wouldn’t be part of it once he arrived. Steube, who was away from Congress for an extended period earlier this year recovering from a fall off a ladder, said that Trump was one of the first people he remembers calling him in the ICU.
