Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Tuesday broke his silence in the race to replace him, endorsing Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) alongside a slate of other GOP candidates in the midterm elections.

DeSantis announced the candidates he is backing at a Florida GOP forum in Tampa, where Donalds, Attorney General James Uthmeier, Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia, and Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson joined him on stage. The outgoing governor endorsed all four candidates.
