And people want to win,\u201d Cuccinelli told The Hill. \u201cHe\u2019s a winner. He\u2019s never lost a race. And you know, he doesn\u2019t complain about the close ones even.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The wave of Florida members of Congress endorsing Trump and knocking DeSantis included <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook\/2023\/04\/19\/how-trump-ambushed-desantis-in-d-c-00092761\">scathing comments<\/a>\u00a0from Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) to Politico accusing DeSantis of keeping him out of press conferences and not reaching out after a serious fall put him in the ICU. But Cuccinelli brushed off the importance of congressional endorsements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsk an Iowa voter. Go ask a South Carolina voter,\u201d Cuccinelli said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Dwight Johnson, a Heritage donor from Colorado Springs who was in the crowd, said although he supported Trump in the past, \u201ceverything that [DeSantis] said made him a great candidate for president of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think DeSantis is very electable. I think he\u2019s just not nearly as controversial,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But Johnson reacted with surprise when he was told several Florida members of Congress endorsed Trump this week \u2014 and then praised the former president\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cTrump did far more than the things that he said he would do in the first year,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cSay controversial all you want \u2014 brilliant businessman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Electability is also a consideration for John Garvey, of Palm Springs, Fla., another Heritage donor who was in the crowd, when looking at the 2024 field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just saw a couple of polls \u2014 one out of Arizona, one out of Pennsylvania \u2014 that had DeSantis polling ahead of Biden by massive margins, both those pivotal states that Trump didn\u2019t take [in 2020]. So I think that\u2019s maybe one of the better arguments for DeSantis,\u201d Garvey said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts praised DeSantis\u2019s \u201cradical candor.\u201d And DeSantis focused much of his 40-minute speech on arguing in favor of his confrontational, aggressive political style.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look around and sometimes Republicans will get into office and they\u2019re almost like potted plants. They don\u2019t want to do anything with the authority they have,\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<p>And without directly mentioning Trump, one DeSantis line distinguished himself from the former president in a way that may have spoken to conservative voters\u2019 and donors\u2019 concerns about Trump being too controversial to win.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to operate an administration that does not get consumed in petty controversy or drama or palace intrigue,\u201d DeSantis said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
