They praised Trump&#8217;s policies \u200bon immigration, tax \u200bcuts, and \u2062deregulation, \u2063which they believed had led to a strong\u2063 economy\u2064 and job growth \u200cbefore\u2064 his indictment.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives\u2063 also \u200bappreciated\u2062 Trump&#8217;s willingness to\u200b take on the media\u200c and challenge \u2063the establishment.\u2063 They saw him \u2062as a strong leader who was \u200cunafraid to\u2062 speak his mind and fight for \u200dwhat he believed in.<\/p>\n<p>In endorsing Trump, DeSantis showed\u200b that he was willing to put aside his own ambitions for the greater good of the party \u2063and the\u200d conservative movement.
