Jay Collins Explains Lack of DeSantis Endorsement to Avoid Trump Conflict
Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins of Florida has explained why Governor Ron DeSantis did not endorse him at his campaign launch, citing a desire to avoid a 'proxy war' with President Trump. Collins, who is running for office, suggested that an endorsement from DeSantis would have positioned the Governor against Trump, who supports another candidate. Despite the lack of formal endorsement, Collins emphasized his close working relationship with DeSantis and his readiness to lead Florida. Collins is currently polling at around 10% and faces allegations of making threatening remarks, which he denies.
