“We say very clearly in the state of Florida that we will fight the woke in the Legislature,” DeSantis said, as he tried to rouse the crowd to applause.
“We will fight the woke in education, we will fight the woke in the businesses, we will never ever surrender to the woke mob.
Our state is where woke goes to die.”There is a relatively small group of people for whom this is a resonant message.
DeSantis could have used the multiple criminal indictments against the former president to make the practical case that Trump would not win if he was in jail.
