Ron DeSantis vows to send Biden ‘back to his basement,’ rips debt-ceiling deal in Iowa campaign kickoff
By Victor Nava
May 30, 2023
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis held his first official presidential campaign event in Iowa Tuesday night, telling voters in the early nominating state that the nation is “careening toward bankruptcy” in the wake of President Biden’s debt ceiling deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
DeSantis’ appearance at the Eternity Church in Clive, just west of Des Moines, marked his first stop on a three-state, 12-city tour that will also take in the first two primary states, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
“It is great to be back. And it’s great for me to report that our great American comeback starts by sending Joe Biden back to his basement in Delaware,” DeSantis told the packed house, referencing his campaign’s “Our Great American Comeback Tour”. “I mean, he’s spent so much of his time as president on vacation, we might as well make it permanent.”
After buttering up the crowd by referring to his home state of Florida as the “Iowa of the southeast,” DeSantis launched into his campaign pitch of competent, conservative governance.
“At the end of the day, leadership is not about entertainment,” the 44-year-old said. “It’s not about building a brand. it’s not about virtue signaling. It is about results, and in Florida, we didn’t lead with merely words, we followed up our words with deeds, and we have produced a record of accomplishment that we would put up against anybody in this country.

Good speech -- but sooner or later, he needs to incorporate that he's for ALL Americans not just FLoridians. That's going to be tough to do as obviously most of his accomplishments are in FL.

Since governor...based upon his position on everything important to me as man, father and grandfather, how could you NOT consider voting for DeSantis...
...IF THE ALTERNATIVE PARTY IS 4 MORE YEARS OF HORSESH*T, OR WORSE???
As 'mayor' of Realville, the only thing that's going to stop Donald Trump?
Death. I get chills thinking about his safety.
And if you think America 'burned' when Martin Luther was assassinated?? Stay tuned!

And I'm frankly embarrassed to ask you... Do you believe the 2020 Election tabulations were honest and legitimate?

Not at all. But was it reflective of Donald Trump's leadership over his own Administration? Absolutely.
