Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Saturday night, calling on the Florida Republican to return to the Sunshine state and &#8220;do the job he was elected to do\u2014be the governor of Florida.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dismissing DeSantis&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pence-undergoes-surgery-to-implant-pacemaker\/\" title=\"Pence Undergoes Surgery To Implant Pacemaker\">2024 presidential bid<\/a> as &#8220;a hopeless cause,&#8221; Trump said he ought to make his way home. According to the former president, the money being spent by his campaign should rather be put toward the Republican party&#8217;s effort against President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump Urges DeSantis to Prioritize Florida<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Instead, DeSanctimonious and his establishment handlers are wasting precious resources to divide our party,&#8221; Trump told the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Get home and take care of insurance,&#8221; he added, referencing the departure of some insurance companies from Florida as expenses associated with covering damage from natural disasters rises.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He further pointed out his lead over DeSantis in polls of Florida.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent Florida Atlantic University Political Communication and Public Opinion Research Lab\/Mainstreet Research poll, <strong>50% of registered Republicans supported Trump for the Republican nomination, while 30% opted for DeSantis.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Trump took a shot at the popular Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA), upset with her commitment to remaining neutral ahead of the Iowa Republican presidential caucuses in January. Afterward, he missed a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/munich-the-edge-of-nonsense\/\" title=\"Munich: The Edge of Nonsense\">crucial event<\/a> among conservatives and evangelicals in the state, where all other prominent candidates were present.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Iowa state Sen. Jeff Reichman (R) switched his endorsement from Trump to DeSantis, specifically citing the attack on Reynolds.<\/p>\n<p>Seemingly unfazed by the move, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung called the Iraq war veteran &#8220;weak-kneed and lily-livered.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whether the moves by Trump will have a lasting affect on Republican voters in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-targets-desantis-in-florida-speech-get-home-and-be-governor\/\" title=\"Trump tells DeSantis in Florida speech: 'Return and govern'\">pivotal early caucus state remains<\/a> to be seen. However, several Republican strategists have predicted that other campaigns could leverage the missteps to gain an advantage in Iowa.
