Ambitious but charmless, DeSantis was a relatively obscure figure even within his own state’s Republican party, and an unlikely pick for the GOP’s gubernatorial nomination. But when Trump took to Twitter and praised him as âa brilliant young leaderâ and âa true FIGHTER,â everything changed—for DeSantis, for Florida, and for the country. Today, as Florida governor and a GOP presidential frontrunner, DeSantis sits within striking distance of the Oval Office, and his onetime benefactor has turned into his most formidable opponent. Florida, meanwhile, has mutated from the country’s biggest swing state into the stronghold of the extremist wing of the Republican party—a place where COVID denialism and culture-war antics have been battle-tested, and where the nation’s political future might just be forged. In Swamp Monsters, veteran Florida journalist and NBC News senior national politics reporter Matt Dixon pulls back the curtain on the titanic clash between a one-time kingmaker and a would-be king, showing how the battle between Trump and DeSantis has escalated, how it might end—and what it will mean for the country"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- $x Influence. 600 10 $a DeSantis, Ron. 610 20 $a Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- ) 650 0 $a Governors $z Florida. 650 0 $a Presidential candidates $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Right-wing extremists $z United States $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517012617.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240302011544.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011607.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8408D5CABB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
