Two U.S. Representatives from the state of Florida, Reps. Gus Bilirakis and Michael Waltz, have endorsed former President Donald Trump over their own state’s governor to be the next President of the United States.
On Thursday, Rep. Bilirakis, R-Fla., released a statement calling Trump "the right leader" to best reverse the "disastrous policies of the Biden administration."
"During his time in office, President Trump enacted policies that spurred economic growth, protected our national security, and improved the lives of millions of Americans," Bilirakis said. "As a member of Congress, I had the privilege of working with President Trump on several initiatives that directly benefited the people of Florida's 12th congressional district.
He added: "President Trump is the right leader to seize this moment by building upon past accomplishments, reversing the disastrous policies of the Biden administration, and restoring America's standing in the world."
Earlier in the day, Rep. Waltz also released a statement endorsing Trump.
"These last two years under Joe Biden have been disastrous for our country. Today I am proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for President," Waltz said in a statement Thursday morning, which was shared by the Trump campaign.
He added: "Under his leadership, President Trump secured our southern border, created seven million jobs with record-low unemployment, brought manufacturing back to the U.S., made America energy independent and affordable, brokered historic Middle East peace deals, destroyed the ISIS caliphate, launched the Space Force, took out Soleimani, gave veterans choice, and put measures in place to stop China’s march towards global dominance."
Waltz succeeded Ron DeSantis in representing Florida's 6th Congressional District.

Great as my governor and totally love DeSantis, but love him less since he started “running.”
All he’s done is hurt himself and lower his brand.
Check
Yeah, yeah. Trump endorsed them in 2022. Either they endorse him or hear his incessant whining about their disloyalty. They probably have to be drink to Bud and be nice to Disney too. Fealty comes at a price.
DeSantis is great for 28 but not before 24.
Trump has outmaneuvered DeSantis at every turn.
It’s like a unique game of poker where the 45th President has access to 50 cards in a deck, while DeSantis keeps turning over a two of hearts & a three of clubs.
“Check”
“Check”
“Check”
Also, for people who think Trump has been hard on DeSantis go watch the “Art of the Insult.”(I’m glad Trump has mellowed it was hard to watch)
Trump is taking it easy on him & doesn’t want him to screw up his ability to make future contributions. We might need DeSantis in the future, he’s a promising politician.
