Florida Gov. DeSantis Declines to Support Rep. Cory Mills

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has joined a growing list of high-profile Republicans who have publicly distanced themselves from Rep. Cory Mills' (R) reelection bid in the state's 7th Congressional District. During a press conference on Friday, captured by C-SPAN, DeSantis was asked about his stance on Mills' candidacy and responded definitively, stating that he has not endorsed Mills and does not support his reelection.

This move marks the latest development in a series of Republican infighting in the Sunshine State. DeSantis' decision not to support Mills comes as the congressman faces growing criticism from within his own party, with some questioning his handling of various issues and his ability to effectively represent the district's constituents. The governor's stance is significant, given his own popularity and influence within the Republican Party, and may have significant implications for Mills' chances of securing the party's nomination.

The situation in the 7th Congressional District is now increasingly fluid, with DeSantis' decision not to support Mills joining a growing list of other Republicans who have either publicly criticized the congressman or opted to remain neutral in the election. As the primary season heats up, it remains to be seen how this development will play out and what impact it may have on the eventual outcome in the district.
