Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has decided to drop out of the Republican primary race and endorse former President Donald Trump.

However, many of DeSantis’s online influencers have expressed disappointment and frustration with this decision, indicating that they do not intend to unite behind Trump.

Despite the emotional responses, DeSantis emphasized that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Trump another chance and, therefore, he is endorsing Trump due to the need to defeat the current incumbent, Joe Biden.

“It’s ‘Governor Ron DeSantis’ now, is it?” Jenna Ellis said.

“No more Rob DeSanctimonious? We’re all just supposed to forget? They think so. I don’t. The audacity here to use the line, ‘It’s time to choose wisely,’” she said.

“Instead of trying genuinely to recruit DeSantis supporters, the Trump Camp takes a parting shot at @bobvanderplaats and evangelicals who wanted to be post-Trump,” she said.

“It was all just a psyop. And you all still trust anything that Trump promises?!” she added.

“We’re not uniting behind Trump,” DeSantis adviser Robert Salvador said.

“The people who spent the primary doxing DeSantis supporters, attacking our wives, kids, parents, trying to get us fired and make us unemployable, want to pretend none of that ever happened. It’s not going to happen,” DeSantis influencer Pedro Gonzalez wrote.

“A sad day for America,” Steve Deace said. “I’m struck by the fear we made the same mistake the currently ascendant generation has consistently made time and time again, and puts us closer than ever to losing this once exceptional country.”

“And this time it was to bypass the most successful Republican politician so far this century, right when we needed somebody as ruthlessly efficient as DeSantis has proven to be,” he added. “But alas, we reap what we sow”:

It is “clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis stated.

“While I’ve had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of Anthony Fauci, Trump is superior to the current incumbent Joe Biden. That is clear,” DeSantis said.

“I signed a pledge to support the Republican nominee and I will honor that pledge. He has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican Guard of yesteryear — a repackaged form of warmed over corporatism that Nikki Haley represents,” he added.
