Pitching his administration’s conservative record as a national blueprint for Capitol Hill, Governor Ron DeSantis rallied Republicans in Osceola County on Tuesday night, portraying Navy veteran Dan Green’s bid for Florida’s 9th Congressional District as part of a broader push to bring aggressive Florida-style governance to Washington. Speaking before a crowd in St. Cloud, south of Orlando, DeSantis pointed to his administration's high-profile battles on education policy, state spending reductions, and corporate pushback, and urged voters to bring that same combative, policy-driven mandate to the halls of Congress.
SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS AFTER DESANTIS GIVES ‘SOROS’ PROTESTER A PIECE OF HIS MIND: ‘AIN’T MY FIRST RODEO’ "I will say that I'm looking forward to y'all getting the congressman elected that has served this country and that has served for the right reasons.

Because leadership—when it's popular, when it's easy—anyone can do that. 'I'll just go with the flow,' all this other stuff. It really matters when it is tough and when you're going to face arrows."
