He praises DeSantis for his discipline and effective execution \u200dof key issues, stating that he\u2064 has the qualities necessary to \u2063be a strong commander \u200din \u2064chief.<\/p>\n<p>Another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cpac-2022-kicks-off\/\" title=\"CPAC 2022 Kicks Off\">notable guest<\/a> is Trent Shores, a\u200b former Trump appointee who served as the U.S. attorney for the\u200c Northern District of Oklahoma.
