Former NCAA swimmer turned activist Riley Gaines told Newsmax host Eric Bolling on Thursday she is supporting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) against ex-president Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary because “it’s the right thing for women.”

Gaines became a star in Republican political media over her outspoken activism against transgender athletes competing in gender-specific sports, after facing trans swimmer Lia Thomas in NCAA swimming competitions.

Bolling brought Gaines on Newsmax’s The Balance on Thursday to make the announcement that she’s endorsing DeSantis and going on the campaign trail with him.
