Desantis is less than two years from terming out of office. After a dismal performance in the 2024 presidential race, the Governor is on a “desperate search for national relevance,” DeSantis Watch Communications Director Anders Croy said before criticizing Republican policymakers for prioritizing headlines over relief for Floridians.
“While the state’s lame duck Governor was laying an egg … Republican leaders in Florida were also laser focused on their own political ambitions rather than lowering our costs, raising our wages, and keeping our communities safe,” Croy said in a statement before turning his attention to DeSantis’ numerous media appearances since Monday.
“As Ron DeSantis spends his waning time in office powdering his face for TV hits and trying out different podcast mics, Floridians deserve leadership that addresses the real issues facing working families and seniors, not the parade of political stunts he seems intent on marching in. If the Governor wants to look tough and actually do his job, maybe he could focus some of his remaining energy on standing up to the property insurance corporations price gouging Floridians out of their homes instead of staging tryouts for a weekend desk at Newsmax.”
