Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump&#8217;s presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<p>In an engaging article \u200cfor RealClearPolitics, Cortes admits that he was wrong in his\u200c judgment and urges those still on the DeSantis wagon to &#8220;read the room.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I believed that Republican voters were ready for a new post-Trump chapter of the America First movement,&#8221; Cortes begins. &#8220;I now believe I was wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cortes goes on to extol Trump as the only one capable of saving the\u2062 country from President Joe\u2062 Biden and\u2062 the Democrats.\u200c He warns \u2063that another Biden term could have disastrous consequences for the United States as we \u2062know it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It is time to \u2064unify behind former President Trump as \u200bhe leads\u200c the battle against the\u2062 ruling class and the oligarchs intent on destroying the American way of life,&#8221; Cortes \u2064passionately\u2063 writes. &#8220;I \u2062implore all patriotic populists to join me\u200d as I pledge to do everything in my power \u2062to work for Trump&#8217;s cause, just as I proudly did in 2016 and 2020.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cortes emphasizes the\u2063 importance of avoiding further internal strife among conservatives, as it could jeopardize their chances in the general election.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We do not have the \u2063luxury of further internal strife and instead must prepare for an epic battle this\u2062 autumn against our opponents who are inflicting daily damage upon\u200b America,&#8221; \u2063Cortes warns. &#8220;Any \u2064further time, capital, and effort spent attacking the frontrunner, especially with Democratic Party-like talking points, only dilutes the \u200dpower of our cause as we head toward \u200cNovember.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This\u200c decision by Cortes follows the lead of\u2063 his daughter, Kingsley Cortes Wilson, a national committeewoman with the D.C.

This endorsement comes as a \u200csignificant boost to Trump&#8217;s campaign, as Cortes brings a wealth of experience and credibility within \u2062conservative political circles.<\/p>\n<p>Cortes, \u200brenowned for his articulate and persuasive\u200d communication skills, was a prominent figure in the conservative super\u200b PAC Never Back Down during\u2064 the 2016 presidential race. His decision to \u2063throw his \u200csupport behind \u2064Trump reflects his belief in the President&#8217;s ability to lead the nation\u200c and implement policies that align with conservative principles.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent statement, Cortes highlighted Trump&#8217;s accomplishments during his first term, citing his\u200c commitment to\u200c deregulation, tax cuts, and a strong national defense as evidence of his effective leadership. He emphasized Trump&#8217;s record on\u200d job creation and economic growth, emphasizing the need \u2063for continuity and stability in \u200cthese uncertain times.<\/p>\n<p>Cortes also commended Trump&#8217;s stance on immigration, maintaining that the President&#8217;s policies prioritize the needs and security of\u200b American citizens. This issue has long been a focal point of Cortes&#8217; career, and he believes Trump&#8217;s unwavering commitment to border security and immigration reform is crucial for national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Cortes applauded the President&#8217;s approach to foreign policy, particularly regarding his tough\u200d stance on China.
