Former president donald trump teased his potential 2024 Republican challenger: Florida governor ron desantis — for reaching out to him “with tears in her eyes” as he sought an endorsement in his state’s 2018 gubernatorial election.
The former president, who described himself as a “loyalist,” told his followers on Saturday in Waco, Texas, that an emotional DeSantis had poor poll numbers before calling for an endorsement in the 2018 Florida gubernatorial race.
It later erupted into a complaint and plea print of DeSantis’ request.
“(He said,) ‘Sir, if you back me, I’ll win. Please, please sir, support me. And I said, ‘Okay, let’s try it,’” Trump told his supporters.
