Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
If he endorsed Haley, maybe. She already had a huge, uphill battle. Assuming most of DeSantis' voters actually go to Trump, she's done.
DeSantis already endorsed Trump.
The only people who have voted on DeSantis so far have been the Iowa caucus. They gave him 21% but they're notoriously weird. Like they nominated Rick Santorum in 2012 and Ted Cruz in 2016. I know there are polls and everything, but I would have been surprised if DeSantis was cracking higher than 15% in any of the primaries. There's no way Haley had a chance at any point, it's going to be Trump.
And that's people that drug their asses out in negative temps to caucus. I'm assuming turnout was very low. I had very little knowledge that they were still really doing a Republican primary.
So this is probably just the strangest subset of people that felt compelled to do this.
