DeSantis Endorses Kash Patel as Reformer for FBI Director, Criticizes Wray, Urges Senate Support
Dec 3, 2024, 01:31 AM
Governor Ron DeSantis has publicly endorsed Kash Patel as the next FBI Director, urging Senate Republicans to support his nomination. DeSantis emphasized Patel's understanding of the FBI's issues and described him as a reformer who will not be swayed by bureaucratic pressures, contrasting him with the current FBI Director, Christopher Wray, whom he criticized for becoming a 'company man' after his appointment in 2017. DeSantis's remarks come amid growing Republican support for Patel, with several senators expressing their backing. The governor's statement reflects a broader alignment with former President Donald Trump's choices for key positions within the administration.
