Ron steps up for Don.
After news dropped of a Manhattan grand jury and DA Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump, prominent GOP voices came to The Donald’s defense —including potential 2024 opponent Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

The former president is now the first former president in U.S. history to ever face criminal charges.
