At the first cattle call for 2024 presidential contenders, Gov. Ron DeSantis touted his record as a proven path to victory for other Republicans.
“What the election results in Florida show is that Florida really has a blueprint for success,” he said.
The Florida Governor, fresh off a landslide re-election, spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership summit in Las Vegas. He enjoyed a high-profile speaking slot on Saturday evening.
Fox News reports DeSantis received multiple standing ovations. With the particular audience in front of him in mind, DeSantis noted he performed exceptionally well with Jewish voters, according to exit polling.
“We won the highest share of the Jewish vote for any Republican candidate in Florida history,” DeSantis said.
He defeated Democrat Charlie Crist earlier this month by 19 percentage points, the most significant victory for any Republican Governor in Florida.
And he also spoke specifically about foreign policy issues in Israel, referencing a historic official trip he took to Israel in his first year as Governor.
DeSantis’ re-election campaign shared excerpts of the Vegas speech on social media, a notable act since DeSantis cannot seek re-election as Governor and has not officially announced he will run for President in 2024.
“We’re all about exercising leadership and delivering results for people that we represent,” DeSantis said. “I did not take any polls when I became Governor all the way through this entire term. The job of a leader is not to stick your finger in the wind and try to contort yourself to wherever public opinion may be trending on one given moment. No, the job of a leader is to set out a vision, to execute that vision, to show people that it’s the right vision and to deliver concrete results.
“When you do that, the people respond, and boy, on Nov. 8, did they ever respond.”
DeSantis was among several speakers at a three-day confab considered the first post-midterm assembly of prospects to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in 2024. His name was notably the first listed on an e-vote to the event.
Former President Donald Trump, who already announced a bid for the White House last week, also spoke at the event. But he was a last-minute addition to the meeting’s list of guests.
Former South Carolina Governor and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley spoke before DeSantis took the stage. Other expected speakers include former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan.

Since Donald Trump’s win in 2016 there has been a significant increase in hate crime targeting Jewish Americans, Asians and the LGTQ communities.
DeSantis carries the megaphone for hate groups!
Republicans are America’s biggest problem!
Vote all Republicans out of office!

Florida neanderthals love empty suits who do absolutely nothing but make rich people more rich. For everyone else, right wing propaganda and lies. Freedom for the rich and freedom t-shirts for the dumb dumbs.

Correct Charlotte.
I watched Govs presentation on C-span.
Very well outlined, very positive.
He explained in detail the success and accomplishments Florida has enjoyed. He was very well received.
DeSantis is the “right stuff”, the time is now for him to offer himself to America. Do for America what you’ve accomplished for Florida!
60% landslide is unheard of in electoral politics today. As he said, for the ages. Florida sunshine coalition.
He has only begun to “fight” peter h.

Hey Tom, it’s me again. I wanted to apologize for earlier, I got a little too heated. I still stand by what I said though, Ron Desantis is a vile racist! I think you should educate yourself by watching a great documentary, it’s called “Buck Breaking” by Tariq Nasheed and it perfectly illustrates what the far-right has been doing to the black population in this country.

You couldn’t kick your momma if she stole your blanket corsin. Shut your pie hole. You are a ignorant China Soros Manchurian bot.
I owned you all season, 60% DeSantis landslide speaks for it self. Go visit chameleon at donkey pasture.
DeSantis dominates the political landscape, Harris and Mayor Pete are losers, just like you, Elliot and Peter h.
Enjoy, 60% Florida sunshine coalition.

Quick replay and persistent on-line interest helped me routinely produce more than $26,380 in additional domestic revenue. My actual earnings with my highest (hbf-03) domestic sales were $18,636. Certainly, everyone can now.

Instead of campaigning for president, Ron Desanctimonious should be enforcing laws that protect children in Florida: “DeSantis has declined to issue fines after over 14,000 violations of a sex trafficking law by Florida hotels and lodging establishments.
The investigation published on Sunday by the Sun Sentinel found that 6,669 hotels and other lodging establishments had received 14,279 citations since a 2019 sex trafficking law required them to make modest changes to protect victims. In one case,The Plaza Hotel was cited five times after a 17-year-old girl was choked because she would not turn over all her earnings to her sex trafficker”. -rawstory.com/florida-trafficking-fines
Desantis refuses to impose fines on any of these child trafficking enablers. DeSantis should be protecting our children, not law breakers’ profits.

WHILE THE USELESS OF DONALD J TRUMP IS CHARACTERIZED FOR CREATING CRAZY PHRASES, RON DESANTIS SHOWS HIMSELF AS A CREATOR OF FUTURISTIC PHRASES FOR SILLY CONSERVATIVES. WHAT A HORROR, 2 SCAMMERS REPRESENTING THE DESREPUBLICAN OR REPUBLINAZICANO PARTY.

Jews are suing christian nationalist Desantis because his abortion ban violates their religious freedom.
Ron wants all laws based on his own beliefs. UnAmerican. Unfit.

Now now Elliott. I’m busy! And I still need time to process what happened last night. I had no idea a penis could be malformed in that fashion. I’m not ableist or anything, but I have to think about it. It was just so short and crooked….

Not now Elliott. I’m busy. Besides, I still need time to process what happened last night. I’m not ableist or anything but when I looked under your pants…… It’s so terrible, I can’t even stand to think about it. I just need more time Elliott, I hope you understand. I just didn’t know it’s it could be so oily and crooked……
