I woke up the next morning to several messages from Florida governor Ron DeSantis, urging me to make sure he and “the first lady,” his wife, Casey, were mentioned in the president’s remarks at a rally in Tampa that day. I had known Ron since I was an intern for Scalise and Ron was in his third and final term in the House. I ignored his texts. Ron texted Mark and me all the time. I had repeatedly asked him to stop, but he disregarded me.
