'We delivered': Florida GovRonDeSantis lauds record in inaugural speech amid presidential buzz
DeSantis delivered a boastful speech before a packed house at the Florida Capitol, repeating the tagline"and we delivered" at one point and decrying Washington bureaucrats at another."When the world lost its mind, when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue, Florida was a refuge of sanity," he said, recounting his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The speech stayed away from any overt statements about the White House, and both President Joe Biden and Trump went unnamed. Yet James Todd, a politics professor at Palm Beach Atlantic University, said voters reelected him knowing it may be for only two years. DeSantis should avoid any spats with Trump and the"Republican food fight," Todd added, even though Trump will try to drag him into them, and target the moderate suburban voters who swung the 2020 election for Biden.
DeSantis pointed to his state's enormous population growth as proof that his vision works. The Sunshine State has added 622,000 people since 2020, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, almost as many as New York lost . The governor attributed this to people choosing his state as a promised land of sanity.Polling continues to show DeSantis in a strong position.
