DeSantis Roasts Trump’s Pick In FL Special Election

The Hill reports:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Tuesday’s special election in the state’s 6th Congressional District is not a referendum on President Trump’s first few months back in office. “If there’s an underperformance, [political media] is going to say, ‘See it shows the voters are rejecting [Trump].’ It has nothing to do with that,” DeSantis, who previously represented the district until 2018, told reporters.

“This is a rejection of a specific candidate amongst some voters who either choose not to vote, maybe even vote third party,” he continued. “I don’t know how many Republicans would cross over and vote for a lunatic Democrat.” DeSantis went on to say that if there is an underperformance it will be because of Republican candidate Randy Fine. The governor noted that Fine lives outside the district in Brevard County.
