Can DeSantis' record in Florida play with a national Republican audience?

I guess they missed the part where Jacksonville just elected a Democratic Mayor for the 2nd time in 30 years. In other words, this extremely red city just went blue under the watch of DeSantis. DeSantis himself endorsed the GOP candidate. I think the tide is turning.

[staggerlee]

So far he’s banned books, turned homophobia and bigotry into law and destroyed Florida’s economy. Not exactly a great record.

[keepcalm]

can now thank Desantis for costing Florida a billion dollars in new income and 20, 000 new jobs from Disney, since they just cancelled the new campus they were going to build there, primarily because of his antics. Which will hurt the economy of the area it was to be built in.

So yeah..Congrats Florida.

He's running Florida into the ground and Republicans think this is a smart guy and a good candidate?

[geminiaxelrod]

If he cant run Florida, why would anyone think he can run the whole country ??

[gregstephens]

Desantis just shut down agriculture, construction and trucking in Florida with his immigration law.

[TheJasonBorn]

DeSantis' record in Florida doesn't even play with a Florida Republican audience, why would it with a national Republican audience.

[JR-prjb]

People outside Florida haven't yet come to grips with little Ronny's fascism--how it destroys a state in a very short time.

[Alright]

This reporter neglects to mention that DeSantis and the gop legislature let him redraw maps what like 4 weeks before election. Mainstream media really misses the point to much.

[zazatv]

Six week abortion ban, good luck with that in the burbs.

[williamgleaton]

Well it certainly doesn't with Floridians, we hate him and want him gone, we are still dealing with Trump and his deplorables. And Desantis is no better .So anyone considering to back Desantis, than at heart your still a Trumper

[RichardQuaid]

Trying to kick the mouse to curb won't sit well with many in this country. How clueless can you be?

[barbarahartlen]

No, DeSantis is not what the people of this country want. DeSantis manhood was hurt so now what he has done to Florida, he's completely out of control!

[brothertaro]

DeSantis hates anyone who is awake. Think about that.

[claudettetaylor]

Ron DeSantis his the Fidel Castro of Florida

[johncoleman]

Republicans have a difficult decision, Feak 1 or Freak 2 😢

[BrattyBetty]

"The Florida governor “struggles with basic social skills” required of a politician. But I’m calling it now: This story will follow DeSantis like pudding sticks to fingers." - Margaret Hartmann, senior editor for Intelligencer

[jockyoung]

It doesn't matter. He won't play well in a general election

[bgddogdflgd]

NO ... he is losing in his own state of FL.

[becky]

No. Desantis’s record is so dictator like that the USA doesnt want him anywhere near the presidency. He shouldn’t bother running. No Republican today is qualified for the job. They should just quit while they’re behind. 😂😂😂
