Trump wins major home-state endorsement in snub to DeSantis
Fox News
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., has endorsed former President Donald Trump over his own governor, Ron DeSantis, in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.
When reached for comment, DeSantis' campaign told Fox News that the governor "has more endorsements from state legislators than the former president in Iowa (41), New Hampshire (62), and South Carolina (16)."

"He also has the support of almost all Florida elected officials because he worked with them to deliver historic results for the conservative movement. The governor will win his home state because Floridians want to see a fighter who will bring the same type of results-oriented leadership to Washington that he has provided in the Sunshine State," communications director Andrew Romeo said.
