A Republican mega-donor is supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis instead of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race.

Hal Lambert, who served on Trump’s inaugural committee in 2016, said that he made the decision to support DeSantis due to the governor’s prospects of winning the 2024 race.
