Posting on his social media site, Truth Social, Trump said Florida Sen. Joe Gruters, from Sarasota, “will do a wonderful job” as the chairman of the Republican Party. Gruters, 48, confirmed in a text message that he wants the job.

President Trump on Thursday threw his support behind Florida state Sen. Joe Gruters (R) to serve as the next head of the Republican National Committee (RNC) with current chairman Michael Whatley set to announce a Senate bid in the coming days.

The likely means the Sarasota Republican will end his campaign for Chief Financial Officer and leave the Florida Senate.
