Fox News
A panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" could not contain their surprise following the results of a 2024 straw poll of conservative voters that put Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in first place, referring to him as a "conquering king" in the GOP.
Before viewing the results, co-host Joe Scarborough referred to DeSantis as a "rock star" and a "conquering king" in the GOP based on the response he received at a separate conservative gathering at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Kissimmee, Fla. "But then, this one person said, 'But my God, you should have seen the response for Ron DeSantis," Scarborough said, quoting one of his sources who was at the event. "He was like a conquering king. And this person who’s been in Republican politics for 40, 45 years said, 'I haven’t seen anything [like it] since Reagan in ‘80. He was unbelievable.'" "Just rock star status," Scarborough added. "This guy is taking over the Republican Party."More Related News
