Influential evangelical leader Bob Vander Plaats' organization, "The FAMiLY Leader," will be hosting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley for a Thanksgiving Family forum.
Vander Plaats, a faith leader who has endorsed the eventual winner in every contested GOP caucus since 2008, has not yet said who he'll support – but his coveted endorsement could soon go to DeSantis.
On a Monday call with fundraisers, DeSantis told donors he is expecting an endorsement from Vander Plaats' within a week of the roundtable, according to multiple attendees who were on the call. The DeSantis campaign denies the governor said this.

In another thread, vander plaats, the leader, is said to be something of a grifter, and it appears that the desantis team has paid at least $95k in the past, to help gain his favor.
vander plaats already held his 'forum', however, not even the vocal desantis supporters made note when it occured or promoted it's live stream...
Which seems to show they are more interested in nevertrumping, than promoting desanctimonious...
No... Because they want to destroy mankind just as much as the left does because they are of the chosen ones. They know the left will do this for them and they can still retain their moral conscience.
They haven’t stopped counting in Iowa.
Insulting people of faith now? Ibtz?
It is of no importance.
“It is of no importance.”
Endorsements are so twentieth century.
the only endorsement that truly counts in contained in Daniel 2:21. remember my friends, it isn’t as much about who you know as who is in control.
Picked Cruz, how did work out for them, eh.
Trump will not lose Iowa. I live here and have eyes. In rural areas (i.e. most of iowa) they never took their Trump signs down after 2020. Rock solid.

The lady reporter (anchor?) is nearly apoplectic. :-)
Iowa is the only formerly blue state Republicans have reliably turned red...so I have noticed.
Thank you for that...
I had read there was a new nbc poll out, but hadn’t found it...
And it also shows that the support for Trump, according to their polls, hasn’t changed significantly among republicans..
I’m just conveying the truth. Read around, it is everywhere here with faithful pride. One prayer after another for the second coming and an end to all this.
How many do you want me to link too? Bet I could link to a hundred in just the last few days easy. Point is, how do my Grandchildren stand a chance when both the communists and the faithful want to end it all tomorrow?
So if the left does it for them it will be convenient and they will have a clear conscience and can call it God’s glorious will. This is not new, this is a fact of the matter and archived.
I don’t think many evangelicals care what “evangelical leaders” say about their candidates. And I’ve never heard of Vander Plaats anyway.
It seems like the press is always trying to pick our leaders for us.
(the only endorsement that truly counts in contained in Daniel 2:21)
Correct
It’s hard to believe that INDIANA actually voted for Obama in 2008.
No sane person wants a Nuclear War. It is one of the reasons Goldwater lost so badly in 64.
WV!
“..And I’ve never heard of Vander Plaats anyway”
A while back he led a campaign that successfully voted out three justices who had voted to legalize gay marriage. The next cycle he attempted a campaign to remove the three remaining gay-marriage supporting judges from the court but was unsuccessful.
