TULSA, Okla. — "I am officially and 100 % endorsing Ron DeSantis for President and we're going to win it in Oklahoma," Governor Kevin Stitt said.
Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis was in Tulsa Saturday night and got a big endorsement from Stitt.
In the past, Stitt supported former President Donald Trump.
"Put your hands together for the next President of the United States, Ron DeSantis and Casey," he said.
Speaking to a packed crowd, Stitt officially endorsed the Florida governor.
The campaign was held in east Tulsa at the F&E Creek Event Center off 11th Street and Stitt's endorsement of DeSantis was met with roaring applause.
The GOP candidate and Florida governor told the crowd he's running for president to reverse the decline and put us on a path of American renewal.
"There's always excuses as to why you can't do something. A leader finds a way you can do it," DeSantis said.
He then went on to tout his accomplishments as the governor of Florida.
"We've enacted the heartbeat bill. The strongest pro-life bill in modern Florida history," he said.
Hundreds packed the venue to hear DeSantis.
Will Church says he drove in from Fairview, Oklahoma.
"I just love that everything that Ron DeSantis stands for," Church said. "I think it's time for new leadership in this country. I appreciate everything President Trump has done but I do believe we need younger and fresher leadership."
The campaign trail didn't stop in Tulsa.
Both Governor Stitt and DeSantis made an appearance in the Ponca City rodeo later in the evening.
