DeSantis added, “Look, there is a difference between being brought up on criminal charges and doing things. For example, I think it was shown how Trump was in the White House on January 6, 2021, and didn’t do anything while things were happening at the Capitol. He should have come out more forcefully, of course.”
The Florida governor did not mention the charges against Trump and his aide Walt regarding the mishandling of classified documents and the ongoing investigations in other cases against Trump.

The Florida governor said, “As President, my job will be to restore a single standard of justice, to end weaponization of these federal agencies. This country needs to have a debate about its future. If I am the nominee, I will be able to focus on President Joe Biden’s failures and articulate a positive vision for the future.”
