The gloves haven't fully come off yet, but Ron DeSantis is loosening up the laces.
The Florida governor is responding aggressively to former President Trump’s litany of attacks, especially on the COVID-19 pandemic and the deal in Congress on the nation’s borrowing limit.
Mr. DeSantis, like many fiscal conservatives in Congress, said he opposes the debt limit deal because it does not go far enough to cut spending.“I spoke with people I trusted, and I put out a statement saying where I stand on it. And I didn’t need to put my finger in the wind. That’s not how I roll and I will continue to lead that way,” Mr. DeSantis said. “So I think he owes it to folks to come out and take the position, one way or another.
“He’s attacking me over some of these disagreements, but I think he’s doing it in a way that the voters are gonna side with me,” Mr. DeSantis said. “Do you want Cuomo or do you want free Florida?” “It’s really part of the reason why we’re in such dire straits as a country fiscally now, but I didn’t bash him then because he was taking enough heat and I wanted him to succeed,” Mr. DeSantis said. “But that was a disagreement we had and now he’s gonna say that somehow he was on the right side of that. I just don’t buy that.”
Mr. Trump promoted his efforts to defeat Covid, which he said saved “millions of lives.” His policies, Mr. Trump said, allowed states to decide mandates and lockdowns.
