Donald Trump<\/a> is racking up endorsements left and right these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being the first President to be criminally charged, Trump has seen a surge in support over the last weeks with numerous lawmakers publicly announcing their endorsements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, Rep. Lance Gooden<\/a> (R- Texas) opted to endorse Former President Donald Trump despite attending “positive” meeting with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is widely expected to launch a presidential campaign later this spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gooden said in a statement<\/a> posted on his Twitter account that he made the decision after \u201ccareful consideration\u201d and a \u201cpositive meeting\u201d with DeSantis. He said he has respect for DeSantis and his accomplishments as governor but believes Trump is the best candidate based on his record and \u201ccommitment to putting America first.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI met with Governor DeSantis, and while he has done commendable work in Florida, there is no doubt in my mind that President Trump is the only leader who can save America from the leftist onslaught we are currently facing,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wholeheartedly endorse President Donald J. Trump for the 2024 presidential election and vow to fight alongside him to reclaim our country from the leftist forces that threaten to destroy it. Together, we will ensure a prosperous and secure future for our great nation,\u201d Gooden said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump has also gathered several endorsements from Florida Republicans, claiming support from members of DeSantis\u2019 own state party. They include Reps. Cory Mills, Anna Paulina Luna, Byron Donalds, Greg Steube and Matt Gaetz.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
