"2024 Presidential Race: State's Largest Police Union Makes Major Endorsement"

The Florida Police Benevolent Association, the largest police union in the state, has endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential election, citing his ability to handle the nation's crises and defend law enforcement. The union's president, John Kazanjian, expressed concerns about rising crime rates and the strain on local municipalities, and praised Trump's administration while urging members and Floridians to support the former president. This endorsement comes amid increasing murder and retail theft rates in big cities, and follows the union's previous support for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the Republican primary.
