Ron DeSantis says Amendment 3 saved Florida from the blue wave - Florida Politics

DeSantis Calls Midterm Losses an 'Extinction-Level Event' for GOP

Ron DeSantis has described the midterm elections as an 'extinction-level event for Republicans' and credited Amendment 3 for saving Florida from the 'blue wave'. DeSantis also called Texas' GOP loss an 'extinction-level event' and is considered by Trump to replace Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon. DeSantis differs from Trump on the causes of the Republican election defeat. He attributes the loss to the 'blue wave'. This is in contrast to Trump's reasoning. DeSantis is seen as a potential replacement for Pete Hegseth.

“DeSantis differs from Trump on the causes of the Republican election defeat,” — Andreas Mercer, policy watcher at Greencroft Stow Partnership, added during the briefing.
