Takes job at FIU as the interim president. Not completely unsurprising; goes from $135,000 annual salary to 875,000. If that gig works out, I doubt she'll want to run for governor in 2026 at a much reduced pay.
Here's what happened. ‘The race for governor is over’: How Trump upended Florida politics For nearly a decade, Republicans with political aspirations have been haunted by a devastating possibility. One day, President Donald Trump could publicly endorse a political rival. That nightmare came true on Thursday for the GOPers eyeing the 2026 Florida governor’s race. Trump posted to Truth Social his “Complete and Total Endorsement” of a potential run by Naples-area U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds. + Since 2018, Trump has endorsed in nearly 700 Republican primary races, according to data from the election tracking website Ballotpedia. His preferred candidates have won about 95% of those races. Gov. Ron DeSantis arguably won the post in the first place because of Trump’s endorsement.
Donald's is a lap dog that will do whatever Trump tells him. No accomplishment in life other than willingness to uncle Tom himself with maga. Smooth speaker, no platform other than get ahead
It seems like soon every state university will have a R politician instead of an academic as Prez. UF, USF and I believe FAMU on the clock. Recently FIU, FAU and of course New College have picked politicians and paid them $$$$$. Nationally, less than half of university presidents are politicians.
I assume most candidates endorsed by the sitting potus have an advantage in their primary, right? Is this unusual?
This. It's all just normal. It's not a cult to an adulterous, felon, sexual assaulter who also enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election, and is the only sitting President in US history to attempt to not peacefully transfer power. Just the usual. And supporting It's normal too!
