A previous adviser to former President Donald Trump has endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 Republican primary for president.
Steve Cortes, a former senior strategy adviser for Trump's 2020 presidential campaign, argued in a Tuesday opinion piece for Newsweek that DeSantis — who has yet to announce whether he will run for president next year — is "the best possible option to win the presidency in 2024."
Cortes suggested that the prominent Florida Republican would "govern as a highly capable, patriotic populist leader" should he be elected.
