Trump Jr., Guilfoyle praise a theoretical Matt Gaetz campaign for governor

MILWAUKEE (FLV) – On a livestream, Donald Trump Jr. and his partner, Kimberly Guilfoyle, praised a potential bid for Florida governor from Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz.

“Matt Gaetz. What’s the next move?” said Trump Jr., son of former President Donald Trump. “I see some ‘Matt Gaetz for president.'”

“No, no, no,” Gaetz replied.

“Matt Gaetz for governor!” Trump Jr. said.

“I want him to run for governor,” Guilfoyle said.

“I would definitely enjoy that job so much,” Gaetz said. “I would never leave it if I ever got that opportunity.”

Trump Jr. said he will “pre endorsed Matt Gaetz for governor Florida right now,” he said, along with Guilfoyle.

“I’m the first endorsement of Matt, because I just want to see the meltdown,” Trump Jr. said. “The media – absolute meltdown – to that announcement.”

Gaetz responded, saying he’s “not in the race yet,” but joked he now has his “first volunteer.”

“I am the first and Kim’s the second volunteer,” Trump Jr. said.

The Florida governor’s race is far out, with Gov. Ron DeSantis only starting his second and final four-year term this past January.

The next Florida gubernatorial election takes place in 2026, with a new governor taking office in early 2027.
