Ron DeSantis Backing Raúl Labrador for Majority Leader

U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., announced on Tuesday he is backing U.S. Rep. Ra Labrador, R-Idaho, to replace U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., as U.S. House majority leader.

"Ra Labrador is a conservative reformer who will stand for liberty and challenge Washington sacred cows, DeSantis said. He is also a skilled communicator who is capable of articulating limited government principles to a broad cross-section of Americans. I am happy to support a change agent like Ra for the position of House majority leader."
