Trump, DeSantis Set to Address Florida Freedom Summit in Kissimmee
Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump are set to headline the Florida Freedom Summit, a highly anticipated event for Republican presidential candidates, taking place at the prestigious Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida. The summit, scheduled for Saturday, promises to be a gathering of the party’s top contenders vying for the nomination in the upcoming presidential race.
Brevard County State Representative Randy Fine expressed his excitement about the event, stating, “It’s going to be the premiere event for Republican presidential candidates in Florida, and theoretically, they’re all supposed to be here.” However, it has been reported that former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will not be in attendance due to personal reasons. Nevertheless, she will pay an additional $75,000 fee to secure her place on Florida’s GOP primary ballot in March, according to NBC News.
While recent polls suggest a close race between Haley and DeSantis, both candidates are still trailing behind the ever-popular Donald Trump in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Trump’s continued dominance in the party’s popularity is evident, as he plans to hold a separate rally in South Florida next week, coinciding with the summit. Additionally, DeSantis and other GOP hopefuls will be participating in the third presidential primary debate in Miami on Wednesday.
Representative Fine, curious about the response of his fellow Florida Republicans, wonders how they will react to the candidates’ pitches at the Gaylord Palms Resort. He noted, “Sen. Rick Scott is speaking. He supports President Trump. The congressional delegation is speaking. They all support President Trump. I’m speaking. I support President Trump. So it might be a little bit lonely for the governor tomorrow. But it will be interesting to see the reaction people have.”
Nikki Fried, the chair of Florida’s Democratic Party, shared her thoughts on the Kissimmee GOP event during a videoconference on Friday. She remarked, “It makes sense that they’re here in Florida taking center stage to declare victory. They have turned this state into Ground Zero for MAGA extremism. Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis have worked overtime to roll back our rights.”
The Florida Freedom Summit at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, is poised to be a pivotal moment in the Republican presidential race, attracting top-tier candidates and showcasing the enduring influence of former President Donald Trump. As the summit unfolds, political observers eagerly await the reactions and responses from both supporters and skeptics alike.
