DeSantis' Pre-Announcement Party

It's a "DOH!!" that DeSantis will run in the Pubbie Primaries (giving Paul Ryan's pants a bulge.)

So he tossed a little party the other night.

...The Florida governor is making headway, at least based on who showed up to a retreat he hosted last night for dozens of party bigwigs at a Four Seasons — four miles down the road from Mar-a-Lago — that was on the aggressive end of the spectrum. The attendees included a number of prominent past supporters of Trump, our Alex Isenstadt reports this morning.

Among those in the room: “Arizona Republican JIM LAMON, a solar energy executive and Trump donor who aggressively aligned himself with the former president during his unsuccessful 2022 Senate bid … [and] ROY BAILEY, a longtime Texas fundraiser who helped lead Trump’s campaign finance committee.”

The retreat also drew several of DeSantis’ fellow governors, including Oklahoma’s KEVIN STITT, “who benefited from a Trump-hosted fundraiser during his reelection bid last year, and Tennessee Gov. BILL LEE, who was also backed by Trump in his 2022 reelection campaign.”

Wisconsin Sen. RON JOHNSON was also on hand and participated in a panel discussion, though a spokesperson said he doesn’t intend to endorse in the primary. “Other attendees spotted in the crowd included Kentucky Rep. THOMAS MASSIE, Texas Rep. CHIP ROY, Utah Sen. MIKE LEE and 2022 Nevada Senate candidate ADAM LAXALT, a longtime DeSantis friend.” Lee was involved in Trump’s effort to overturn the election, according to the Jan. 6 committee report....

Oooh!!  Nice party, eh?

...The agenda for the event, which Knowles and Dawsey got a look at, was dubbed a “Freedom Blueprint” and featured a list of DeSantis favorites: “‘election integrity,’ border security and ‘medical authoritarianism.’” The discussions, the pair writes, were “designed to showcase DeSantis’s record and show it could be applied nationally.”...

Too bad DeSantis' "favorites" don't include "Made In America," "Energy Independence," and "Re-Shoring Critical Industries", eh?

Probably a clerical error.  What we really need is more Walt Disney Worlds.
