Most of Florida's majority Republican congressional delegation is steering clear of GovRonDeSantis and Trump's rivalry for the 2024 GOP nomination. When asked about the two Florida natives, lawmakers have attempted to avoid the conflict entirely.
DeSantis and Trump both hail from Florida, and recent polls have shown the two in a dead heat in the Sunshine State. The Florida governor, who has yet to announce his 2024 candidacy, is credited with leading his party to a stunning victory in the 2022 midterm elections. His rise to national prominence has led pundits and pollsters to anoint him as the former president's top primary competitor, leaving Florida Republicans in a sticky spot politically.
“The most important thing is, Florida will be in the mix,” Bean added. Pressed again about making a choice, Bean declined to give a specific answer, instead simply praising DeSantis. "I’m not getting in the middle of that," Rep. Vern Buchanan said."I want to let things play out, and so many people are going to be involved."
As for the state's two Republican senators, both were quick to distance themselves from the primary scuffle.
