The Florida Constitution limits the powers of lieutenant governors - their only official responsibilities are what governors tell them to do. Jeanette Nuñez both were away from Tallahassee at the same time last month - he campaigning in California and she promoting Florida aviation at the Paris Air Show. Meanwhile, according to NBC News, Scott made six stops so far this month in Iowa and New Hampshire and has planned fundraising trips to Colorado, California, Maine, New York, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.Īs we noted above, DeSantis remains in charge of state government even in his absence. The Senate remains at work through the end of July in advance of its August recess.

Scott, of course, is the other candidate with an official day job and, similarly, his press aides didn’t get back to us either. (This year, the Florida Legislature changed Florida law to clarify that DeSantis wouldn’t have to resign.) We asked Burgum’s press aides about the balance between his campaign and official duties but haven’t heard back. North Dakota lacks a resign-to-run law that might have forced Burgum to choose between his office and his aspirations. Trump had 54% in that poll and DeSantis 24%. However, a national Quinnipiac poll placed Burgum at 0%. That said, Burgum has been decidedly lagging in the polls - recent University of New Hampshire poll put him at 6% in that state’s Republican primary, tied with Christie, following Donald Trump at 37%, DeSantis at 23%, U.S. The remaining GOP contenders have business backgrounds, including Vivek Ramaswamy, from the biotechnology sector. ambassador under Trump, and Asa Hutchinson is a former governor of Arkansas. Additionally, Nikki Haley is a former governor of South Carolina who served as U.N. 23, including $10 million that he loaned his campaign.įormer governors in the race include Chris Christie of New Jersey and Mike Pence, who was governor of Indiana before becoming Donald Trump’s vice president. Burgum claims that he has raised enough money to earn him a place in the first GOP debate on Aug.

Neither the campaign nor the governor’s press office have responded to inquiries. As for Never Back Down, the DeSantis-affiliated PAC, it listed no events either. "I'd say, when it comes to managing and running affairs and big corporations, I'm going to go with Donald Trump over somebody who doesn't have a track record anything outside of Congress," Kingston said.ĭeSantis’ campaign website in the past has listed planned events on a dedicated page, but as of Thursday, no events were listed there. "Do you not give her the same respect of the title you held?" "She's not being quoted today based on the fact that she worked in retail or in service, she's being quoted as a member of Congress - the same title of yours," Melber noted.

Melber pushed back on Kingston's condescension.

When the host attempted to ask Kingston about Trump's spending his time watching TV and tweeting, the former politician instead launched a condescending attack on Rep. MSNBC's "The Beat" with Ari Melber allowed Kingston, a Squire Patton Boggs lobbyist, on as a guest.
