The Florida primary proved that the America First movement has massive support in the Sunshine State.

Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump celebrated dozens of wins after over 30 of the candidates he endorsed to Make America Great Again earned the support of voters at the polls.

Among the winners are some of the most famous America First fighters. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., won her race after Maxim writer Jon Jack published a story deeming her “living proof that the American dream is alive and well.”

Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., also won his race. His work on the House Oversight Committee has helped reveal inconsistencies within the Biden administration and he has been outspoken in his dedication to putting America First. 

On Tuesday he posted to X stating, “Democrats defunded police. Democrats bailed-out violent criminals. And now crime is rampant.”

He called them out for holding the Democratic National Convention in one of the most highly crime-ridden cities stating, “Chicago deserves better. Our cities deserve better. Our nation deserves better.”

“Making America Safe Again starts with electing President Trump & Republicans DOWN-BALLOT on November 5th,” Donalds concluded. 

In addition, Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., defeated his opponent in the Tuesday primary, despite former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy backing his challenger. 

RSBN reported that McCarthy was ousted from his position of power last year after Gaetz filed a motion to vacate the speakership.

According to Politico, McCarthy then threw his support behind candidate Aaron Dimmock and a super PAC that ran an attack ad campaign against Gaetz in the recent race. 

Despite the opposition, Gaetz won by a landslide, earning 72.6 percent of the vote. 

Gaetz thanked his constituents in a victory post on Tuesday night, stating, “I will never stop fighting for you.”
