ANAHEIM, California — Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) hit back at former President Donald Trump's claim that he turned Florida red during a dinner address to the California GOP convention on Friday.
DeSantis's comments came after Trump derisively referred to him as"Ron DeSanctimonious" earlier on Friday during the convention, and bragged about his polling advantage over all his 2024 rivals. Trump is currently leading the Florida governor 57.6% to 13.7% according to a RealClearPolitics poll average."I understand that one of my residents was here earlier saying that he turned Florida red," DeSantis said without directly naming Trump.
"We know that the inflation that we're suffering under is the result of borrowing, printing, and spending by members of Congress in both parties across two administrations over the last three and a half years that sunk trillions and trillions of dollars into the economy paying people not to work, doing all this other stuff," he said."Of course, you are going to get inflation when that happens.
Never Back Down, the super PAC that is backing DeSantis's presidential campaign, pulled resources out of California due to the state GOP's proposal in late July to change delegate allocation rules during next year's Super Tuesday primary. The state's new rule awards the candidate who receives more than 50% of the vote in the primary all of its 169 delegates, the most of any other state.
"I think most of you know we're scheduled to have a little tussle with your governor on Fox News," he said to cheers."He'll pull out statistics and this and that. And I can pull out statistics like for example just today, Florida got ranked number one for education freedom by the American Legislative Exchange Council. I can go all day with stuff like that."
"The California model represents more American decline," he added."The Florida model represents a way for us to reverse American decline and represents a way to have an American revival. And that's ultimately the choice that people are going to have to make."
