Fox News
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has received a top-level Republican endorsement for president, despite not announcing his candidacy. Rep. Chip Roy gave him his support Wednesday.
"The next President of the United States must be a vibrant and energetic leader with the faith, vision and courage to chart a new course. America needs a leader who will truly defend her and empower the people against the destructive force of unrestrained government and corporate excess, profligate spending and woke cultural indoctrination," Roy wrote in the email. "That leader is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis." Anders Hagstrom is a reporter with Fox News Digital covering national politics and major breaking news events.

Roy goes on to argue that DeSantis has "unequivocally" made Florida "stronger and freer." He went on to praise the governor for sending illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard in a "message to elites," as well as praising DeSantis' rejection of COVID-19 mandates.
