TALLAHASSEE — While Gov. Ron DeSantis barnstorms the country campaigning for president, a growing chorus of Floridians are urging him to come home to deal with the state’s soaring housing costs and other problems.
On the stump, DeSantis declares he’s managed Florida well and the economy is booming. Any signs that contradict his view, especially rising inflation, he blames on what Republicans call Bidenomics.
“Governor, come home and take care of your state,” state Sen. Tracie Davis, D-Jacksonville, implored during a recent news conference. ”We all know that he’s running for president, but we have real problems, real issues, and the crisis with property insurance.”
