Within two days of announcing Florida would arrange transportation for Americans stranded in Israel and bring them to Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis welcomed home nearly 300 Sunday night.
We’re happy to be able to deliver and ready to welcome them back to the United States of America.”
Florida partnered with Project Dynamo to bring nearly 300 Americans home from Israel, including more than 270 to Tampa and seven to Orlando on Sunday.
“I am proud of how quickly we have been able to activate resources and do what the federal government could not – get Floridians and other Americans back home, reunited with their families, free of charge,” DeSantis said.
The support we are receiving from Governor DeSantis, the First Lady, FDEM Executive Director Kevin Guthrie, Florida Commerce Secretary Alex Kelly, FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass and his entire administration and the state is overwhelming. We are very grateful for the special flights and supplies.”

There are roughly 20,000 Americans, including many Floridians, who are stranded in Israel, according to some reports.
The U.S. State Department encouraged stranded Americans to book commercial flights while also recognizing that these flights were being canceled "due to mortar and rocket fire that may take place without warning."
It also encouraged Americans to arrange and pay for their own lodging. Any transportation out of Israel the federal government might be able to provide requires Americans to sign a promissory note prior to departure, according to a partial State Department emails posted on social media.
By contrast, the Florida government is providing free transportation to stranded Americans wanting to come home.

Point taken. :)
Precisely he could have held back and if the rats used lawfare to take Trump off the board he would have been a lock for a revenge candidate and almost unstoppable. Ron’s campaign has been a case study in what not to do to win a primary.
They’ll still vote democRAT.
Prolly so.
Since I’m a big believer in both trusting but verifying as well as considering the source, allow me to throw this in...
