"Trump Dominates Orlando GOP Summit, Hutchinson Booed for Trump Comments"

At the Florida GOP event, there was little appetite for Trump criticism among the crowd of GOP activists, with Asa Hutchinson and Chris Christie, who are critical of Trump, getting booed. While DeSantis has sharpened his attacks against Trump on the campaign trail, he steered clear of criticizing him on stage, instead delivering his standard stump speech. Trump quickly turned the event into a show of strength against DeSantis on his home turf, with five lawmakers who previously endorsed DeSantis flipping their endorsements to Trump. DeSantis has struggled to turn his popularity with Florida Republicans into a successful national campaign, as Trump remains dominant in national polls and key early states.
