DeSantis is up for re-election this yr after narrowly defeating Democrat Andrew Gillum by a mere 32,000 votes in 2018.
Whereas we received’t know who his Democrat opponent is till after the August 23 main elections, it’s secure to say DeSantis is champing on the bit.
In case your Republican Governor isn’t being attacked by the MSM like DeSantis is, likelihood is he/she isn’t doing that nice a job. Get a greater one!

By no means Again Down From A Battle
DeSantis’ advert isn’t strictly fiction both. A part of his recognition stems from his (some would say Trump-like) refusal to offer in to the liberal media.
He simply doesn’t take any guff from them. Ever. And on this age, that’s simply as necessary as the rest a Republican can do.
To take only one current instance: the Democrat mouthpieces at “The View” invited DeSantis to look on the present. Huge mistake.
Florida’s “High Gov” responded by stating how partisan and biased the present is. Examples embrace hosts calling DeSantis “Dying-Santis”, a “fascist” and bigot, homicidal sociopath, and extra.

And that’s one of many causes DeSantis is so common. The previous guard of the GOP would simply as quickly present as much as “The View” and apologize for his or her beliefs. Not DeSantis.
After all, coverage issues, too. DeSantis has taken on the Biden administration’s changes to Title IX, sacked a state legal professional for refusing to follow the state’s abortion legal guidelines, taken on the woke agenda on the college degree, and extra.
By all accounts, DeSantis is the highest canine in ready within the Republican Occasion, prepared for the torch to be handed from Donald Trump.
