The Democratic National Committee accused Gov. Ron DeSantis of pursuing an “extreme” agenda as the group tries to paint the newly-minted presidential candidate as outside the political mainstream.“Ron DeSantis has pushed an extreme MAGA agenda focused on ripping Floridians’ freedoms away and now he wants to take that agenda nationwide.”
“DeSantis got his start as a co-founder of the ultra-right wing House Freedom Caucus where he supported Paul Ryan’s plan to end Medicare and Social Security as we know it, voted for national abortion bans, worked to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and supported Donald Trump’s tax giveaways to the biggest corporations.
“If there was any doubt — DeSantis’s announcement turns up the volume on an already messy Republican primary. One thing is guaranteed — whoever makes it out will only have done so by catering to the most MAGA, right-wing Republicans in the primary.”3:50 p.m.
"However, on the economic front," the Chamber pointed out,"Florida is creating 1 out of every 11 new jobs nationally, is the #1 ranked state for higher education for seven years running, just experienced its largest single quarter of tourism ever, and continues to lead the nation in both population and income migration.
