Trump campaign attacks DeSantis for supporting Trump nominee, claims he 'voted' for Senate-confirmed position
Fox News
The Trump campaign falsely claimed that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a former member of the House, “voted for" Trump-nominated Christopher Wray to become the next FBI director in 2017.
The remarks quoted a 2017 tweet from DeSantis that read: "Christopher Wray is talented, capable & highly respected. POTUS has made an inspired choice & I look forward to working with Director Wray." DeSantis' remarks at the time came in response to a tweet from Trump, who announced that he would be nominating Wray to lead the FBI. In the 2017 announcement, Trump described Wray as "a man of impeccable credentials." Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

DeSantis – who announced a challenge to Trump last week for the Republican nomination for president next year – served in the House from 2013 to 2018. But he did not vote in favor of Wray's confirmation because that's a role fulfilled by Senate members, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.
