"The federal government, which he claimed is out of touch and has an out-of-control bureaucracy, has made Florida's success harder to achieve. DeSantis noted that the government is forcing its will on the state."
As DeSantis delivered his speech, House Republicans were meeting in Washington, DC, to set their agenda and elect their new speaker. However, they were still divided over who should be the next speaker. Most of the members of the House were still undecided as Kevin McCarthy of California failed to secure enough votes.
Many people are pessimistic about the nation's future, DeSantis noted. He said that Florida has shown that the people aren't destined for failure, and the state is proof of that.
Although DeSantis has not officially announced his intention to run for president in 2024, he is considered a leading candidate for the Republican nomination.
