DeSantis heads to battleground states to boost Trump-backed candidates
By: Max Greenwood
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is set to hit the campaign trail this month for several of former President Trump’s endorsed candidates in a handful of 2022 battlegrounds.
DeSantis will travel to Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio and Pennsylvania this month for a series of rallies hosted and organized by the conservative group Turning Points Action, the governor’s campaign announced Monday. Fox News first reported the news.
Those rallies will see the Florida governor stump for several Republican candidates, including Ohio Senate nominee J.D. Vance, Pennsylvania gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano, Arizona Senate nominee Blake Masters and Arizona gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake.
The rallies are being billed as an effort to “unite” the GOP ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, with Turning Points Action founder and president Charlie Kirk telling Fox News that DeSantis “has become the model for a new conservative movement” in the United States.
“That he is willing to throw the full weight of his support behind Kari, Blake, and JD tells you everything you need to know about these incredible candidates who I endorse and support 100%,” Kirk said.
