LOADING ERROR LOADINGFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis is now promising that if he’s elected president in 2024, he’ll pardon Donald Trump if the former president, who is facing 91 felony charges in four indictments, has been convicted. The Republican presidential candidate, during a stop in Iowa, declared that he “already said that long ago” when questioned about whether he’d pardon the Republican nomination’s front-runner. A DeSantis campaign spokesperson responded simply “Correct” when asked by NBC News on Saturday to clarify if the Florida governor was committing to granting Trump a presidential pardon. In Iowa @RonDeSantis fully committed to pardoning former President Trump if he's convicted. After I pressed DeSantis for clarity, his response was he "said that months ago," but tonight was the clearest he's been yet.
