Trump comments on possibility of Ron DeSantis being his VP pick in 2024
by Leah Barkoukis, Townhall.com, May 26, 2023
Gov. Ron DeSantis shut down allegations he is an “establishment Republican,” giving Newsmax host Eric Bolling a list of what he’s done in Florida to prove his conservative credentials.
“What do you tell the folks, the Trump voters who say Ron DeSantis is lining up with the establishment wing of the party, the Karl Roves, the Paul Ryans over at Fox, and they’re very concerned about that,” Bolling asked.
"I have not spoken to Paul Ryan since I’ve been governor. I've met Karl Rove once in my life. They are not involved in my political operation so that’s just manufactured garbage that people put out there online,” he responded.
FYI: Can the president and vice president be from the same state? YES! However, Trump owns properties all over the Country and he simply could declare one outside of Florida as his official residence to solve the problem!
“You also look at my record,” DeSantis continued. “How many establishment Republicans would have sent illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard? How many establishment Republicans would have stood up against Disney? How many establishment Republicans would have signed the bill that I just signed to ban land purchases from people affiliated with the CCP in the state of Florida? We're now being sued by the ACLU for that. How many establishment Republicans would have leaned in to support our children against the pronoun Olympics. We banned the pronoun Olympics in our schools were the first state to do that. How many establishment Republicans would have banned gender transition surgeries for minors? We not only would take the doctor’s medical license, we’ll put the doctor in jail if they’re mutilating minors. So, on every issue, the kind of the old guard of the Republican Party would have shied away from in a New York minute, I’m not only leaning into them, I’m winning against the media and the left. We say Florida is the place where woke goes to die because we’ve defeated the left on all these fronts. And my pledge if I’m elected president after two terms we will leave woke ideology in the dustbin of history.”

2023 DeSantis Accomplishments (See Below for 2019-2022)
BANNED Central Bank Digital Currency!
With the signing of Senate Bill 7054 into law, CBDC was banned in Florida, because the state’s uniform commercial code does not accept it within its definition of money, DeSantis said.
The bill also forbids using CBDCs issued by foreign government reserves and central banks, including China’s digital yuan.
BANNED Credit Card Companies Tracking Gun Purchases:
Senate Bill 214, which DeSantis also signed, “combats efforts by woke credit card giants to monitor the transactions of firearms retailers” through Merchant Category Codes, his office said.
It also imposes fines for violating the state’s consumer protections against gun owner registries.
Education
Parental Rights in Education Act: In the 2023 legislative session, the state legislature passed an expansion of the bill. It expanded the ban on teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity to eighth grade and said it should be taught in an age-appropriate manner after eighth grade. DeSantis is expected to sign the bill into law.
The state legislature also passed a bill that prevents state universities from using funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. DeSantis had proposed these reforms before the legislative session, saying the programs serve as "a political filter."
Death Penalty:
Signed Legislation that changed the number of jurors to recommend the death penalty from a unanimous 12 of 12 to a supermajority of eight of 12.
Constitutional carry
Another major policy move for DeSantis was the signing of a bill to make Florida the 26th state in the United States to have constitutional carry.
Abortion
DeSantis was able to get a 15-week abortion ban passed in 2022, just before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. In 2023 DeSantis signed Legislation that prohibits Abortion after six weeks.
