Ron DeSantis expects Donald Trump to face investigations in both chambers of Congress, blocked appointments and budget standoffs. But his post-election assessment also has a message for Republicans: their campaigns spent too much energy on the wrong subjects.
In the Tallahassee press conference posted by Fox Business, Florida's governor contrasts Republican victories in his state with the party's national losses. He describes the outcome as "close to an extinction level event for Republicans in many parts of the country."
The warning promised in the upload's title arrives during questions about the presidential agenda. DeSantis predicts that Democratic control will bring extensive congressional investigations, while a Democratic Senate will obstruct Trump's judicial nominees and Cabinet confirmations. These are his expectations for the next Congress, not announcements of specific inquiries.
His diagnosis becomes more pointed later. He criticizes congressional stock trading and Republicans' positions on releasing the Epstein files, then argues that spending heavily on transgender-related campaign ads failed to address voters' leading priorities. He attributes Republican gains among Latino voters to kitchen-table economic concerns rather than immigration alone.
Florida's property-tax overhaul supplies the practical counterpoint. DeSantis discusses implementing Amendment 3 before the new year, with school funding and possible further relief still part of the legislative discussion.
Asked about political "saviors," he rejects the premise: elected officials are supposed to be servants delivering results. Asked about his own future, he keeps the answer on the unfinished work of his term: "We'll work till the lights are out, and cross that bridge when we get to it."
Republican politician who has served as Florida's governor since 2019. He previously represented the state's 6th congressional district in the U.S. House from 2013 to 2018.
