The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has the backing of the vast majority of Florida Sheriffs.
Donald Trump now has the endorsements of 55 of Florida's 67 county Sheriffs, as they felt emboldened to endorse in the wake of Ron DeSantis leaving the presidential race. DeSantis had touted the endorsements of 60 Sheriffs when he was still a candidate last year.
"As sheriffs we understand that government's primary responsibility is to protect its citizens, and we need a President in the White House who will stand with us as we protect our citizens, their freedoms, and our communities," said Brevard Sheriff Wayne Ivey.
"President Trump has a proven track record of protecting our great nation," Ivey continued. "They say that past performance predicts future performance, and as President, Donald Trump exceeded at every level. He secured our borders, stood strong with our law enforcement officers, targeted drug traffickers and fentanyl dealers, fought to protect our Constitutional Rights, and once again, made our military the most revered in the world!!"
Trump is facing off against former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary on Tuesday.
"This group of Florida Sheriffs are proudly endorsing Donald Trump for President of the United States because we need him in the White House protecting our country and standing with us, as we protect you and our communities!" Ivey concluded.
