Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he will not support Rep. Cory Mills in the upcoming Republican primary. During a visit to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, DeSantis stated, “I have not endorsed Cory Mills, and I do not support Cory Mills.” This decision comes as Mills faces an investigation by the House Ethics Committee and a restraining order from a former girlfriend.
Primary Contest
DeSantis’ rejection of Mills is significant, as it joins a growing list of state GOP figures distancing themselves from the incumbent. Mills is currently under investigation and has denied all wrongdoing. The primary contest will feature three Republicans running against Mills, including former local news anchor Ryan Elijah.
