Simi Valley, Calif. – During the second Republican presidential primary debate tonight, Ron DeSantis said:

"Polls don't elect presidents. Voters elect presidents. We're going to take the case to the people in these early states. We're going to do it in the state-by-state direction. Why? Because as Reagan said in his day, "This is our time for choosing." We are not getting a mulligan on the 2024 election. Republicans have lost three straight elections in a row. We were supposed to have a red wave with inflation at 9%. It crashed and burned, not in Florida it didn't. We delivered it in Florida. So we've got to choose right. We've got to win, and we need somebody that's going to be able to serve two terms. So in January of 2033, I'll be able to address the nation saying: We turned the economy around. We secured the border and we fended off the threat from communist China. As your president, I will get that job done."
