COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is rolling out endorsements from 15 South Carolina lawmakers. The list was shared first on Thursday with The Associated Press ahead of DeSantis’ town hall in North Augusta. The endorsements come from 11 state House members and four state senators. It’s a show of force for DeSantis in a state current Republican front-runner Donald Trump won handily in the 2016 primary and where he has maintained popularity. Many of the new endorsements are from lawmakers who have introduced DeSantis during previous appearances in the early voting state.
