A significant number of Michigan Republicans are urging Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024 – setting up a confrontation with the only declared candidate in the race: former President Donald Trump.
Bryan Posthumus, the GOP floor leader in the Michigan state House, traveled to Florida last month to hand deliver to DeSantis a letter encouraging him to run for president, the lawmaker confirmed to Fox News. The letter was signed by 18 members of the Republican caucus in the state House. It called the Florida governor "uniquely and exceptionally qualified to provide the leadership and competence that is, unfortunately, missing" right now in the White House under President Biden.
The signers state they "stand ready and willing to help [DeSantis] win Michigan in 2024." Together, they represent about a quarter of the state House Republican caucus.
The news was first reported earlier Wednesday morning by Politico.
