During his speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis commended former President Donald Trump for his policies on the US border and economy. DeSantis expressed that the country was respected when Trump was in office, highlighting his leadership as commander-in-chief.
DeSantis, who had previously competed against Trump for the GOP presidential nomination, took the opportunity to criticize President Joe Biden, accusing him of a 'dereliction of duty.' The governor expressed his concerns, stating, 'As a citizen, as a husband, and as a father, I am alarmed that the current president of the United States lacks the capability to discharge the duties of his office.'
DeSantis's remarks underscore the ongoing political divide in the United States, with Republicans continuing to support Trump's policies while voicing skepticism about the current administration's effectiveness. The governor's speech at the RNC reflects the broader discourse within the Republican Party regarding the direction of the country and the contrasting approaches of past and present leadership.
