Attendees overwhelmingly sang DeSantis’s praises while stipulating that they still very much favor Trump in the 2024 Republican primary.“DeSantis is definitely the No. 1 governor in the United States,” Al Richardson, a Florida resident, told the Washington Examiner while contending that Trump will win the 2024 GOP nod. “I don't want to see him leave the governorship of Florida … my mission down here is to push Donald Trump.
His absence guaranteed that a Trump love-fest at CPAC would go uncontested. One of Trump’s primary challengers, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, was heckled by pro-Trump voters following her address Friday. By skipping out, DeSantis averted a similar fate. Mandziara cited DeSantis’s recent shift from moving toward dissolving Disney's Reedy Creek Improvement District to taking it over instead as an example of what he meant. However, when pressed about how DeSantis performed as governor, his tone grew more positive.
DeSantis memorabilia, by contrast, was hard to come by, though there were occasional “Stop WOKE Act” stickers” seen throughout the complex, in a nod to the 2022 law he signed intended to restrict classroom instruction of critical race theory.Among the over one dozen attendees interviewed by the Washington Examiner, Trump was largely seen as more of a known quantity compared to DeSantis. There was also a sentiment that Trump deserves a second shot at the presidency.
Steve Bannon namedropped DeSantis during his speech Friday briefly, noting that he and other Republican alternatives were “fine” while stressing “we don't have time for on-the-job training.” This was a point raised by many attendees when comparing Trump and DeSantis.
