President Donald Trump gave his full endorsement of Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., who is running to replace Rick Scott as governor of Florida.
“Congressman Ron DeSantis, a top student at Yale and Harvard Law School, is running for Governor of the Great State of Florida,” President Trump tweeted. “Ron is strong on Borders, tough on Crime & big on Cutting Taxes – Loves our Military & our Vets. He will be a Great Governor & has my full Endorsement!”
Rep. DeSantis, who has been a bulldog conducting oversight of the government’s abuses of secret surveillance programs, is running primarily against Agricultural Commissioner Adam Putnam. He touted a previous tweet by President Trump encouraging his campaign, but this latest message is a more definitive endorsement.
Meanwhile, Governor Rick Scott is running to replace vulnerable incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson, D-Fla., in the U.S. Senate.
The PPD-Big Data Sunshine State Battleground Poll conducted in February found Governor Scott leading Senator Nelson by 2 points, and Mr. Putnam leading Mr. DeSantis by 2 points in the Republican primary.

I'm a South Carolinian now via Boston. I like Rick Scott, I like DeSantis as well. Yo' Floridians what say you about this?
