Sinclair told the Des Moines Register that DeSantis is “head and shoulders” above the rest of the GOP field, so it was “an easy endorsement for me.”
State Senate President Amy Sinclair and House Majority Leader Matt Windschitl said Mr. DeSantis, a Republican who will likely join the GOP primary field, is a proven leader in Florida and the party needs to look forward.
Mr. Trump has picked up key endorsements in Congress and dominates the GOP primary field in early polling, but the landscape could shift once Mr. DeSantis formally announces his campaign. The leaders said Mr. DeSantis had a proven track record on conservative issues like taxes and parental rights, while drawing an implicit contrast with Mr. Trump, who still insists he didn’t lose in 2020.
Mr. Trump has taken a number of swipes at Mr. DeSantis. He says the governor needed his support to win in Florida and is characterizing Mr. DeSantis as a threat to entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.
