But he spent most of his speech criticizing Democrats’ policies on immigration, education and gender identity. DeSantis said the country needs to vote out President Biden saying he has failed as a leader. “I am alarmed that the current president of the United States lacks the capability to discharge the duties of his office,” he said.

“Donald Trump stands in their way and he stands up for America. Donald Trump has been demonized. He’s been sued. He’s been prosecuted and he nearly lost his life,” he said. “We cannot let him down.”
