Ron DeSantis’ wife Casey DeSantis now addressing crowd. “Ron is a conservative warrior ... he is a fighter.” Touting DeSantis’ congressional record, including push for congressional term limits. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Djd3_yQXcAET2lt.jpg
Trump came out and mentioned winning Florida by a lot. @RepDeSantis speaking now, off the bat praises ending Iran Nuclear Deal, supporting Israel, nominating Kavanaugh, each with applause from audience. Longest applause comes for the idea of "ending illegal immigration."
Trump says Florida has "two unbelievable people," @RonDeSantisFL and @FLGovScott , who are fighting for America. Encourages audience to vote Bill Nelson out.
Trump says: "They just came out with a poll -- the most popular person in the history of the Republican Party is Trump, can you believe it?" #TrumpInTampa
"My only special interest is you the citizens of the United States," Trump said. "I've had a great career ... and then I ran for president with no experience and I won."
Trump touting his role as a political outsider, says he was only in DC 17 times prior to running for president. Says he didn't know anyone in DC, now he knows everyone in DC.
Trump says he believes Republicans are close to 100% on approving Kavanaugh nomination. Says Democrats want to obstruct the vote because they don't want Trump to have credit, even though they know approving Kavanaugh is good.
Trump describing hypothetical future in which DeSantis will win, and will eventually visit him in the "beautiful oval office" to say that the people are tired of winning, to which he'll say "Ron, I don't care what you say, we're going to keep on winning." #TrumpInTampa
Trump's finale: "We are ... one glorious nation under God, and together we will make America wealthy again; we will make America strong again; we will make America safe again; and we. Will make. America great again." - last part in unison w crowd.
