Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) endorsed former U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft in the Republican gubernatorial primary race in Kentucky as part of what appeared to be a last-ditch effort to elevate her on the eve of primary day, to no avail.
Despite the uphill battle for Craft — who along with her husband Joe Craft are major GOP donors — DeSantis opted to throw support behind her at the eleventh hour, pitching her as the best individual to challenge Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear. Notably, former President Donald TrumpCameron, the Kentucky Attorney General, last year. DeSantis’s decision ultimately set up a proxy war between the two in the state, which DeSantis clearly lost.
“I know what it takes to stand up for what’s right, and Kelly Craft’s got it. She’s proven it,” DeSantis continued, contending that she “shares the same vision we do in Florida.”
