Florida Politics reports:
Gov. Ron DeSantis is again traveling far away from Florida, visiting Ohio and Pennsylvania for campaign stops for out-of-state candidates, under the aegis of the pro-Donald Trump Turning Point USA organization.
If one of those candidates is to be believed, DeSantis’ team actually solicited him for a rally in Pittsburgh Friday evening.

Desantis ain’t going up there to help Mastriano. This is about him getting coverage on PA TV stations and media to raise his profile there for 2024. Desantis doesn’t give a rats ass about this nut.
