Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) defended his wife Casey's possible run for governor and slammed Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), a potential challenger, for missing votes in Congress.
During a Monday press conference in Tampa, DeSantis was asked about Donalds' recent hints that he might run for governor. President Donald Trump has suggested that he would back the lawmaker.
"You know, my view is, is Donald Trump just got into office," DeSantis said. "I want these congressmen focused on enacting his agenda. They haven't done very much yet. They're not putting his executive orders into place... We have such a narrow majority that to be trying to campaign other places and missing these votes, I think, is not something that's advisable at all."
"So I think people look at it and say, you know, you got a guy like Byron," he added, "he just hasn't been a part of any of the victories that we've had here over the left over these last years."

"He's just not been a part of it. He's been in other states campaigning, doing that. And that's fine. But okay, well, then deliver results up there."
During his time in office, Donalds has missed crucial votes on government funding.
