DeSantis responds to McCarthy: ‘I’ve fulfilled all my promises’
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Fires Back at House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis didn’t hold back in his response to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s criticism. McCarthy took a shot at DeSantis over the weekend, questioning his leadership and comparing him unfavorably to former President Trump.
In a recent interview, McCarthy stated that DeSantis is ”not at the same level as President Trump by any shape or form.” He also suggested that DeSantis owes his election to Trump’s endorsement.
DeSantis, however, didn’t let McCarthy’s comments faze him. When asked about McCarthy’s remarks during a press conference, DeSantis simply laughed it off.
DeSantis pointed out that Trump had strongly supported McCarthy’s bid for Speaker and played a crucial role in his victory. He also highlighted their close collaboration during Trump’s presidency, which resulted in a significant increase in the national debt.
DeSantis emphasized the stark differences between his leadership in Florida and the actions of McCarthy and Trump in Washington. He highlighted Florida’s budget surpluses, debt reduction, and successful delivery on promises.
Furthermore, DeSantis reminded everyone that Florida played a pivotal role in securing the Republican majority in Congress. He credited the “red wave” in Florida and his efforts to redraw the congressional map for the party’s success.
Despite the criticism from the D.C. establishment, DeSantis proudly declared that he wears their disapproval as a badge of honor. He posted a video clip of McCarthy’s comments on social media, agreeing that he is indeed different from Trump.
DeSantis concluded his response by contrasting his record of fiscal responsibility with the excessive debt accumulated during McCarthy and Trump’s tenure. He made it clear that he is committed to keeping his promises and running a sustainable state.
Kevin McCarthy says I’m a little different from Donald Trump. I agree.
In Florida, we run budget surpluses. We’ve paid down our debt. I’ve kept every one of my promises.
Meanwhile, McCarthy and Trump worked together to add $7 trillion — more debt than our country racked up in its first 200 years — to the debt in just four years. It’s understandable that the DC Establishment doesn’t want me to be president — and I wear that as a badge of honor.

How did DeSantis emphasize his accomplishments as governor when responding to Rump’s endorsement in his campaign?
Rump’s endorsement was indeed important in his campaign, but he emphasized that he has since proven himself as a successful governor in his own right. DeSantis highlighted his accomplishments in handling the COVID-19 pandemic, his efforts in improving the state’s economy, and his commitment to conservative principles.
Moreover, DeSantis criticized McCarthy’s comparison to Trump, stating that he is not trying to be a carbon copy of the former president. He emphasized that he has his own style of leadership and that he stands by his actions and decisions.
In response to McCarthy’s comments about leadership, DeSantis reaffirmed his commitment to serving the people of Florida and dismissed any notion that he is not on par with Trump. He highlighted his achievements in reducing taxes, protecting the Second Amendment, and supporting law enforcement.
DeSantis also addressed McCarthy’s suggestion that he owes his election to Trump. He acknowledged Trump’s endorsement as a significant factor in his victory, but he made it clear that he earned the support of Floridians through his dedication and hard work.
Overall, DeSantis’ response to McCarthy’s criticism exuded confidence and determination. He made it clear that he is focused on serving the people of Florida and delivering results that align with their needs and values.
The feud between DeSantis and McCarthy highlights a broader divide within the Republican Party between those who align themselves closely with Trump and those who seek to carve out their own leadership styles and identities. As the Republican Party looks to the future, it will be interesting to see how leaders like DeSantis navigate this delicate balance. Will they continue to embrace Trump’s influence or will they forge their own paths?
Regardless of the outcome, one thing is clear: Governor Ron DeSantis is not easily shaken by criticism. He remains steadfast in his commitment to the people of Florida and his vision for the state’s future. Whether or not he matches up to the standards set by President Trump, DeSantis is determined to prove himself as a capable leader in his own right.
