In the midterm election in November, Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has outlined the strategy for his party to regain control of the House and Senate.
In an appearance on Fox News, DeSantis said that defeating Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer would be a “referendum on Biden’s failures.” He went on to say that Republicans need to make sure that voters are aware of how Biden’s policies have contributed to the current problems in the country, and then offer solutions of their own.
DeSantis’ plan appears to be a winning one, as recent polls show that Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with the direction of the country under Biden. If Republicans can capitalize on this discontent, they may be able to take back Congress in November.
“I think if you do that, I think Republicans are going to win both chambers. And I think it’ll be a really good night.
“He ran as being a unifier and he’s basically saying to the vast majority of the country that disapproves of him, that they’re effectively a threat to the republic,” DeSantis said.
“He dodders, he lashes out, but at the end of the day, his policies are why there’s so much opposition to him.”
“He came in and he opened the border, and we’ve seen what a disaster that’s been; he kneecapped American energy, we’ve seen how that’s hurt millions and millions of people across our country; they’ve inflated the currency, we have one of the worst inflations we’ve had in over 40 years.”
“So, of course people are going to be upset at all the wreckage that he’s left in his wake. He is the American Nero. He’s a failed leader.”
“And I think that he is doing this because he’s trying to energize his base to fend off a real butt whipping this November.”
“Well, first of all, the pandemic didn’t cause those setbacks, lockdown policies of Democrat governors, Anthony Fauci, national teachers unions who wanted schools closed, they are the ones that caused that.”
“In Florida, we said, you have a right to be in school, and you need to be in school. And we’ve done much better as a result.”
“But it wasn’t the pandemic, because all it required was leadership to say we need to keep kids in school.”
“And those Democrats and those unions and the Left and Fauci, they chose ideology over what was right for those kids, and the damage is going to be lasting, regardless of what Fauci wants to tell you.”
DeSantis said that the key is to “flip the House” and elect more Republicans. He added that if Republicans are successful in doing so, it will be “a huge deal” and “a repudiation” of Pelosi and the Democrats.
The Florida governor also said that Republicans need to make sure they turn out to vote in November, as well as elect candidates who will stand up to Pelosi and the Democrats. DeSantis’ comments come as many Republicans have been critical of Pelosi, with some even calling for her to be removed from her leadership position.
