Ron DeSantis (R-FL). The division comes as Trump faces a possible indictment, and some Republicans are questioning whether supporting him is the right move. <\/p>\n<p>Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) recently endorsed DeSantis and criticized Trump&#8217;s legal battle in an interview. In contrast, some Republicans are sticking with Trump and using DeSantis&#8217;s lack of support for Trump as a way to criticize him, as exemplified by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) who recently endorsed Trump over DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>Other Republicans have voiced their concerns about the investigation into Trump&#8217;s payments to Stormy Daniels and have accused prosecutors of politically motivated targeting.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the division, many Republicans still support Trump and view his potential indictment as a way to further increase his popularity.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>&#8216;Read More From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/house-republicans-divided-trump-desantis\">&#8220;House Republicans divided over taking sides in Trump, DeSantis battle&#8221;<\/a>&#8216;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11px\"><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Republicans are divided over whether to throw support behind top contenders former President Donald Trump or Gov.
