NextImg:Fifty-one New Hampshire state legislators endorse DeSantis: 'We need winners'


Over 50 New Hampshire state representatives endorsed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for president Tuesday morning, urging him to get into the race.

Pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down rolled out a list of 51 New Hampshire state representatives who want the Florida governor to hop into the presidential race, which he is expected to do soon.

The list included Republican state House Majority Leader Jason Osborne, who was twice a delegate for former President Donald Trump, but now believes people “aren’t buying what he’s selling anymore,” he told the Washington Examiner.

In the brief interview, Osborne said he supports DeSantis because he needs to fill his chamber with Republicans next cycle and believes that with DeSantis at the top of the ticket, it will help him achieve that goal. Rather, if Trump were at the top of the ticket, he believes that would be a drag for Republicans in his chamber and that the past couple of elections have proved that to be the case.

“I don’t want to say anything bad about the guy, but it’s like having a favorite comedian, and you listen to that CD over and over again, and eventually, you get tired of it,” Osborne said.

Osborne said the Republican Party needs “winners on the ballot, and Ron DeSantis is clearly a winner.”

This is the second slate of early state legislators to endorse DeSantis. Last week the pro-DeSantis PAC rolled out more than three dozen Iowa state legislators who endorsed and urged DeSantis to get into the race.

“New Hampshire wants a leader with a winning conservative record that will bring new energy and economic growth to our country. They know that leader is Gov. Ron DeSantis,” Erin Perrine, spokeswoman for Never Back Down, said in a statement.

DeSantis has been ramping up his political operation, sparking much speculation that he will jump into the race soon. He is also set to move his campaign headquarters this week. Because of the price tag of moving offices, it triggers Federal Election Commission reporting requirements meaning he would have to declare his candidacy soon after the purchase.

A new poll out Tuesday by Morning Consult shows Trump’s lead growing in the Republican primary. The poll shows Trump sitting at 61% while DeSantis is in a distant second at 18%.
