DeSantis' 2024 Bid Threatened by Trump's Endorsements and Polling Numbers

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump has received 11 congressional endorsements from Florida, the home state of his presumed main rival for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, Governor Ron DeSantis. Trump's level of support in Florida is impressive, with 55% of Florida's Republican representatives endorsing him, the second-highest endorsement rate among same-party representatives from a rival's home state since 1972. However, early endorsements in a rival's home state are not a great predictive measure of winning the nomination, and broader support among voters is needed.
