Trump broke tradition on Friday when he departed Washington, D.C., for the holidays without holding a year-end press conference.

A White House official who declined to be named said Friday that Trump and his team passed on the press conference because they did not want to detract from positive media coverage after the passing of the GOP's tax-reform plan, which Trump signed into law Friday.

While in transit, the president announced his support for Rep.

"Congressman Ron DeSantis is a brilliant young leader, Yale and then Harvard Law, who would make a GREAT Governor of Florida. He loves our Country and is a true FIGHTER!" Trump tweeted.
