DeSantis abandoned climate science for politics. DeSantis prevented young people from getting life-saving treatment for gender dysphoria. DeSantis stood with Moms for Liberty over real moms and their students. DeSantis ushered in voter suppression. DeSantis downplayed the January 6 Capitol attack and opposed supporting Capitol Police.
