Trump should contact what's left of Skynyrd. Johnny Van Zandt & his brother wrote that love song to DeSantis. [View all]

Via a Google search. I have no intention of posting the song here.

AI Overview "Sweet Florida" is a tribute and campaign song created in 2022 by brothers Johnny Van Zant (frontman of Lynyrd Skynyrd) and Donnie Van Zant (formerly of .38 Special). The country-rock track was written in support of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, praising his leadership style and political stances.The song features lyrics that explicitly back the Governor, with references to keeping the state open, pushing back against COVID-19 mandates, and challenging Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Van Zant brothers premiered the song alongside DeSantis on Fox & Friends, and the track was later used in DeSantis's re-election campaigns.
