DES MOINES, Iowa – During the CNN debate, Ron DeSantis said:

"Well, I disagree with Ambassador Haley, we don't need an accountant in the White House. We need a leader in the White House. And that's what I would bring. I've spoken with Iowans, visiting all 99 counties, and also folks all across this country. The American Dream is slipping away. People are working hard. They're getting the most out their God given ability. They're doing everything right. And they're falling further and further behind. Trying to afford a new home today, your monthly mortgage payment would probably be twice as much as what it would have been if you were starting out five years ago. We have to make the economy work for those folks. Yes, I am going to battle the spending. In Florida, you look you know, we have the national debt clock going up to 34 trillion. I see it. If you did a debt clock for the state of Florida, it would be counting down because we've paid down 25% of our state debt, just since I've been governor. We're going to open up all energy for production because that will be deflationary. Nikki Haley when she was governor, she promised she would never do the gas tax. Then she tried to raise the gas tax on hardworking South Carolinians. Here's the thing: We need to fly a flag of bold colors, carrying the banner of putting the American people first, not the pale pastels of the warmed over corporatism of people like Nikki Haley."
