railed against the media's narratives against him as he continues to seek his party's nomination in the 2024 presidential race.
"I took a state that had been a one-point state, and we won it by 20 percentage points, 1.5 million votes," DeSantis said."Our bread and butter were people like suburban moms. We're leading a big movement for parents rights, that the parents be involved in education, school choice- get the indoctrination out of schools. Of course, there's bread and butter issues that matter too- inflation, more economic opportunity. Florida's economy is ranked no. 1 of all 50 states.
The GOP hopeful went on to call the political punditry about his campaign"wrong," telling Tapper his legislative victories appeal to"huge majorities of the population" and that he's only gotten so much attention because he had come off from his major victory in the 2022 midterm elections.
