Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has chosen a finance director for his prospective presidential campaign, two sources close to DeSantis said on Thursday.

Lauren Lofstrom, who served as finance director for Texas Senator Ted Cruz during his 2016 presidential campaign, is joining DeSantis' political operation and has begun meeting with the governor's allies to discuss fundraising strategies, said the sources who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Others who have joined DeSantis' political operation include Jason Johnson, who served as Cruz's chief strategist in 2016, the sources said.

I don't care anymore. If the election was stolen, Trump let it happen.

He greenlit mail-in voting and then stupidly told Republicans not to do it.

I didn't listen to him. I mailed in my vote to Florida where I assume it was fairly counted as Trump won that state.

Any lawyer will do!

You keep believing Demented Joe won by campaigning from his basement and I’ll keep laughing at you and Republican messaging, which the last I looked 👀 included 100s of $billions to Ukraine and cuts in social security 🤣🤡👍

He was the first to make America a force on the world stage and gave Americans a real identify as a strong and free people. He chased the rotting Spanish Empire out of our corner of the Caribbean.

You're a real optimist, aren't you?

You think De Santis has a chance?

Keep dreaming.

Anyone that has karl rove jeb bush the bushes and any other neocons backing him should be cause for concern.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will be the first to line up and vote for DeSantis IF he were somehow able to get the nomination.

BUT....now is the time to vet the things you just said so everyone has a clear understanding of just who he will be. Money is everything. That is why the club hates Trump. They can’t buy him.

And today, with Trump as the only real declared candidate and with 100% name recognition, he struggles to break 50% in the primary polling. A full half of the party is looking for someone else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not that polls mean squat but the latest hod Trump at 58% Desantis was at 24.9%. That is plus 37 fot Trump/

Using your logic, 75% of republicans don’t want Desantis.

Trump has about 35% of Republican voters. But keep on deluding yourself, Comrade.

If your guy Ronny doesn’t run. Some of you have him built up like he’s the only R governor doing anything worthwhile. He’s the chosen one of the Bushies and Rove types. He hasn’t done anything more than other very competent R governors have already done years ago. Carry on.

These are excellent hires.

"Finance director for Texas Senator Ted Cruz during his 2016 presidential campaign."

An absolute genius, obviously.

I am sure the White Star line thought Capt. Smith was a great hire to command the Titanic.
