For this who follow FL politics, which is very much intertwined now with National, here’s a synopsis;
Trump gets his recommendations from his chief of staff Susie Wiles. She was a lobbyist fired by DeSantis so she hates anyone that is a DeSantis pick. She was a lobbyist here in Florida for Trulieve the Canadian pot company, who along with John Morgan (of Morgan and Morgan the big ambulance chasing attorney) stood to make a lot of $$$ from legalized recreational pot.
DeSantis was against the ballot Amendment and it lost. Wiles, Morgan and those RINOS who control the FL legislature, especially their buddy the Ag Commissioner and BigAg, lost BIGLY $$$ over that. Morgan and the Ag Commissioner say “jump” and the rest of our RINOS ask “how high sir”. Morgan is the kingpin.
Trump endorsed two losers, Byron “Empty Suit” Donalds for Governor (DeSantis terms out in ‘26) and Randy Fine, a REAL slimy loser, to fill a vacant House seat.
Both are already in trouble and Fine is even money for next weeks election in what was a +30 Conservative/Trump district. That’s how bad he is.
Because this race with Randy Fine is so close, and the useless GOP got drunk and lazily allowed the Dims to cheat and steal a 1/2 dozen + seats in various States after they hit their magic majority number, the House vote is close as it can be. So because he can’t afford to lose even one more House seat, he pulled Elise Stefanik nomination for the UN so she can remain as a Rep in the House.
Trump IMHO doesn’t vet who he endorses below Cabinet picks. Same problem as his last term. He leaves it up to mostly RINO yes men (and women) and others with their own agendas. It bites him in the ass regularly.
