Lexington, Kentucky where horseshoes are lucky -- Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) sounds as if he's going to move forward with the 2024 election run because on Monday, he used his popularity to endorse for Kentucky governor the former U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft. She will be attempting to unseat a redstate Democratic governor, Andy Beshear in the November general election.
"Hello, this is Governor Ron DeSantis, coming to you from the free state of Florida. You've had a woke, liberal governor who's put a radical agenda ahead of Kentuckians. The stakes couldn't be higher. I know what it takes to stand up for what's right, and Kelly Craft's got it. She's proven it," DeSantis said in a recorded statement.
DeSantis continued, "[I]'m strongly encouraging you to go out and vote for my friend, Kelly Craft. Kelly shares the same vision we do in Florida. She will stand up to the left as they try to indoctrinate our children with their woke ideology. Kelly will fight against crazy ESG policies that are trying to end the coal industry in Kentucky. And Kelly's going to do everything in her power to end the fentanyl crisis that is hurting Kentucky families."
"When you vote tomorrow, Tuesday, May 16th, vote for my friend, Kelly Craft, and get Kentucky on the path to becoming a free state like Florida," he said.

So it looks as if DeSantis and former President Trump are going to go toe-to-toe in the presidential nomination race via dueling endorsement power. Trump had backed Craft's opponent Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron early on, and stayed with Cameron even though she was his ambassador to Canada and then U.N. ambassador after Nikki Haley resigned and is now another GOP candidate. Of course DeSantis has yet to announce, and that appears to be coming soon.
Trump held a tele-rally supporting Cameron earlier this week but has not appeared in person even though this race is seen as a bellwether for the GOP chances of kicking Biden out of the White House and winning back the Senate in 2024.

Others who have put their support behind Craft is Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY), and National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd.
Craft and Cameron face an additional ten Republican candidates.
