WASHINGTON—The influential Club for Growth was quick to endorse Rep. Byron Donalds (R) to be the next governor of Florida over potential Republican gubernatorial candidate Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis.
“The Club,” as they are referred to, and who endorsed Gov. DeSantis over President Donald Trump in the contentious 2024 Republican Presidential Primary election, are not backing another DeSantis against the President.
During an exclusive interview with The Floridian, Rep. Donalds humbly embraced the endorsement, qualifying the group’s support of him by stating that the support was based on his merits.
“The club, they know my voting record. They know my stances. They know I am a committed conservative who is going to uphold the values that made Florida the best state in the country and take it to new heights,” said Rep. Donalds.
Donalds has already garnered the coveted Trump endorsement.
