Casey DeSantis will not participate in the Women for Trump event due to scheduled execution

TALLAHASSEE – President Donald Trump's campaign for re-election announced Monday that she will hold a Women for Trump event in Tampa featuring prominent Republican women, including Florida's first lady, Casey DeSantis, Kellyanne Conway and the former Attorney General Pam Bondi.

According to the governor's office, DeSantis will not attend the rally on Thursday afternoon because it is in conflict with a planned execution.

The event at the Tampa Convention Center is billed as "an evening of accountability" centered on the 99th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.

Conway was on the special guest list and Bondi and DeSantis were also scheduled to speak, according to an email announcement.

The celebration is scheduled at about the same time as the planned execution of Gary Ray Bowles, a serial killer who attacked homosexuals. Governor Ron DeSantis signed a arrest warrant against Bowles earlier this summer.

Alex Garcia, who oversees the efforts of Trump's re-election campaign in Florida, said Casey DeSantis had a "time conflict" and that an announcement announcing that he was at the time of his life was "deadly." event was "a bit premature".

Garcia acknowledged that execution was the main reason for the first lady's absence and stated that "everyone is locked up" when an execution is made.

Officials in the Department of Corrections generally maintain contact with the governor's office during executions in case of problems. The governor is informed of the execution of an execution.

Helen Aguirre Ferré, spokesman for the governor, said that even if the first lady was not an elected, "out of protocol, the governor's executive office does not participate in any public event" during the execution of an execution.

Bondi was the subject of fierce criticism in 2013 after asking his question at the time to the government. Rick Scott proposes to move the date of an execution because it conflicted with a seed fundraiser for his reelection. She later said that she should not have asked for the date change.
