Summary
St. Cloud, Florida, rallying for GOP House candidate Dan Green, Ron DeSantis cast Florida’s conservative record as a template for Congress and urged voters to oust the district’s current representative.
DeSantis framed that pitch around fights he says Florida won against Disney, teachers unions, COVID mandates and progressive prosecutors, arguing leadership should follow convictions rather than polls.
54% of Florida’s historic state debt will be retired during his tenure, DeSantis said, adding the state has cut spending for four straight years and delivered $10 billion in tax relief.
With Republicans facing midterm headwinds a little over a month before the election, he likened the moment to his narrow 2018 win and argued bold campaigning can still overcome a hostile environment.
