Count Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) as a Republican who thinks Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis should stay where he is as opposed to running for president.
“I truly believe one of the most important paths to saving America is by having as many strong Republican governors as possible. And keeping them in place,” Greene said in a series of posts on Twitter.
States controlled by Republicans in governor mansions and legislatures are able to easily pass Republican bills and ensure strong economies, lower crime, and better education, Greene said.
“Republican governors like ours enjoy the ability to truly get things accomplished by working with the consistently Republican controlled state house and senate. And they look like and they are great leaders because they have the situation to accomplish great things. Which is exactly why we need them where they are and we need more of them across the country,” Greene said. “Because of our strong conservative Republican Governor’s successes, people all over the country moved to our states like Georgia and Florida even stronger election victories from new Republican voters who fled blue and purple states.”
Greene said that losing a strong GOP governor due to consultants urging the governor to run for president “hurts our country overall” because “it cuts short their great leadership and long term Republican success for the states they govern, leaving those states weak and vulnerable to poor leadership or even Democrat control.”
Greene said Republican governors like DeSantis, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, and Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake need to stay in their positions.
“The path forward requires the strongest reddest states possible with these great committed Conservative Republican governors AND a Republican fighting force at the federal level empowering and protecting state rights while producing accountability & transparency,” she said.
DeSantis, a former congressman, cruised to reelection in the midterms, trumping former Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.) by about 1.5 million votes out of 7.7 million votes cast.
A number of conservatives have called for DeSantis to run in 2024, arguing that he gives Republicans a better chance than former President Donald Trump. Neither DeSantis nor Trump have announced bids as of yet. Trump has strongly hinted, though, that he will run for a third time after winning in 2016 and losing in 2020.
DeSantis and Trump are considered the two best Republican candidates, though a slew of others are expected to run. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) are among the possible contenders.
The best way to get rid of high performers is to promote them. This is the Democrats strategy #22.
I don’t believe there are enough real Conservatives in the united states to stand behind Trump at this time. Yes, we have a few governors around the country doing the right thing for their states. I am of believe that should not run for the highest position in our country but be a strong leaders and support whoever runs for president. Unfortunately, Trump’s ego will get the better of him I like the man but he was just a one-time president. Many GOP leaders are RINOs.
I pity those who support and donate to Cheney. They are wasting their money. She has no chance.
These past well almost past midterms were for the most part disappointing to say the least, I think that what MYG has said makes sense we need good Republican governors ,Zeldin for NY lost by only 5 points ,he worked his campaign for at keast one and a half years, he will try again, but he deserves credit because of his momentum NY picked up five or six very important races , flipped them which is amazing in this blue state, I know Trump is a strong leader ,his policies worked fir sure, he needs to tone down his tone abd present himself as a more polished ,less abrasive person, people respond to different things and although we need his strength and policies which worked, his abrasiveness needs to stop, united we must be not devided, and we must remember he comes with much baggage, that being said he could win against anyone that the demorats pit up, but we must be ordered to protect our election integrity which is and has been under assault, and think about the chance that ge might just lose, Desantis is a good choice fir the nomination excellent, and he is polished, he has also otoven himself,and I am quite certain that his second in charge would continue to carry out the great work being done in Florida.This is tough but we must out our best person forward…
DeSantis still hasn’t spoke out about Vaccine Injuries & the Jab DEATHS… he will not get my Vote in 2024 until he speaks out but as for many BIG Pharma is paying him to be silent.
