DeSantis Campaign Press Release - Ron DeSantis: "I'm not running for my issues. I'm running for your issues. We need to make this election a referendum on the failures of Joe Biden."
DES MOINES, Iowa – During the CNN debate, Ron DeSantis said:
"Well, obviously that attorney gave the case away on that explanation, I think the DC Circuit is going to rule against Donald Trump on that issue. I'm not exactly sure what the outer limits are, I don't think it's necessarily been litigated.
It's not going to be an issue with me, because I'm always going to follow the Constitution, and we're going to uphold the best traditions of the office, and I'm going to be a present you can be proud of, you know, I think it's important that people be able to look to the President and say, hey, you know, that's somebody that's, that's worthy of emulating and so my wife and I, we just view ourselves to try to do well for our kids and to make sure they're proud of us. And we set a good example. So that's what we would do in that situation. But I think there's a larger issue, Republicans have got to think of it, Donald Trump's going to lose that appeal. He's going to end up going to trial in front of a stacked left wing DC jury of all Democrats. What are the odds that he's going to get through that and that they've been talking about the validity of the charges? I don't think he gets through that.
And so what are we going to do as Republicans in terms of who we nominate for president if Trump is the nominee? it's going to be about January 6, legal issues, criminal trials, the Democrats in the media would love to run with that. I'm not running for my issues. I'm running for your issues. We need to make this election, a referendum on the failures of Joe Biden, the failures of the Democratic Party and how we have the formula to engineer a great comeback for this country. That's what I would do."
