Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took to the stage Tuesday at the RNC Convention in Wisconsin and delivered a rousing and impactful speech that resonated with the party faithful.
DeSantis, known for his unapologetic conservatism and support for former President Donald Trump, did not disappoint. He offered a scathing critique of the Biden administration and a bold vision for the future of the Republican Party.
The Florida governor wasted no time addressing the elephant in the room – President Joe Biden’s age and perceived cognitive decline.

“As a citizen, a husband, and a father, I am alarmed that the current president of the United States lacks the capability to discharge the duties of his office. Our enemies do not confine their designs to between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. We need a commander-in-chief who can lead 24 hours a day and seven days a week. America cannot afford four more years of a ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ ‘presidency,” blasted DeSantis.
“Biden is just a figurehead. He’s a tool for imposing a leftist agenda on the American people. They support open borders, allowing millions and millions of illegal aliens to pour into our country and to burden our communities. But just don’t send any to Martha’s Vineyard, then they get really upset,” DeSantis said.
One of the key focal points of DeSantis’ speech was his criticism of the Biden administration’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, particularly in the realm of education.
The Florida governor lambasted the president’s efforts to implement DEI programs, accusing them of prioritizing identity politics over academic excellence and undermining the fundamental principles of meritocracy.
“They (Biden admin) have unleashed progressive prosecutors across our nation, who care more about coddling criminals than about protecting their own communities. They use the unelected bureaucracy to impose their will on us without our consent. And they weaponize political power to Target their political opponents as they’ve done to our nominee. They want to ban gas automobiles, eliminate Second Amendment rights, and impose gender identity on kindergartners. They stand for Dei, which really means division exclusion and indoctrination, and it is wrong,” said DeSantis.
DeSantis’ speech at the Republican National Convention served to reinforce the party’s brand and its commitment to a conservative agenda.

The Florida governor’s unapologetic defense of Trump’s legacy, his championing of Florida’s successes, and his call for unity and resolve resonated with the party faithful, solidifying the Republican Party’s identity as the champion of traditional values and limited government.
“Donald Trump stands in their way, and he stands up for America. Donald Trump has been demonized. He’s been sued. He’s been prosecuted, and he nearly lost his life. We cannot let him down, and we cannot let America down,” said DeSantis.
