0:08.0

Ron DeSantis want my vote and my money? Did you win? Did you win? I did not win the

0:13.0

trip to the debate. Did they announce who did win? I haven't seen it, but he did send

0:18.8

out this note that said Governor Ron DeSantis is also the first choice, second choice,

0:23.0

and being actively considered by 61% of likely caucus goers. That is in line with Donald

0:29.0

Trump's 63% footprint in the state. And of course, Donald Trump is citing this new CBS
