DeSantis, though he’s up for reelection at home in 2022, gave a speech that made it clear he was running against Biden, barely mentioning his current campaign
NEBRASKA CITY, Neb. — More than 1,000 miles from Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis was selling red meat rhetoric for a red meat audience.
DeSantis’s trip to Nebraska is part of his ongoing split-screen effort as he prepares for his reelection back home while laying the groundwork for a White House bid if former President Donald Trump sits out the 2024 contest. His emerging national presence has made him a top target for Democrats in 2022 as well as Biden — but so far he’s been basking in his moment.
Both Biden and DeSantis have attacked the other over managing Covid, to the delight of their respective political bases, and each has watched his job-approval ratings slide as coronavirus infections, hospitalizations and deaths rose this summer due to the spread of the Delta variant. But after that bit of levity, DeSantis the pugilist came out. Lacing his speech with folksy colloquialisms like “gimme a break” and saying “ya” instead of “you,” DeSantis rhetorically swung again and again at the far left and Biden. DeSantis twice mentioned Trump in favorable terms, but never referenced 2024.
“DeSantis is high energy, he’s everywhere,” said Christian Ziegler, a Sarasota county commissioner and vice chair of the Republican Party of Florida. “Every time I turn on the television, he’s there.”
