Alligator Alcatraz cost Florida tax payers $1.4 billion dollars ( 1 yr) DeSantis got sucked in by Trump and he is still kissing his ass. DeSantis, sucker and loser 🤡
The hypocrisy is really thick on the criticizing transgender fear mongering when he's by no means done with it. Obviously hypocrisy like that is a sure sign he plans on announcing a campaign for the White House as soon as he thinks it's safe-ish to do so.
Florida men. We don't need another one.
This guy better not run for president or else we’re gonna see the same old politics tactics.
Jake why give DeSantis the time of day, he’s irrelevant and will fade away
Seriously stop ✋🏾 ✋🏾 ✋🏾 believing that GOP criminal, who had stole money 💰 from taxpayers and kids!! The GOP and MAGA lost because smart peoples knowingly the truth about thieves stole from the taxpayers. Florian are stubborn stupid crazy as hell peoples knowingly they're clowns 🤡..
Florida is a Strange place, 40% retirees, alcohol, drugs and ignorance. Corrupt politicians. DeSantis would do anything to stay relevant
MAGA will forever exist in the hearts and minds of Floridaians 😂
This guy doesn't even know the difference between Iran and Iraq, He is such a horrible public speaker... there is no way he would ever get elected President.
Jake’s face lol. He hates him
Now that Trump is losing so much power and is a lame duck, all kinds of Republicans are coming out of the woodwork as the voice of reason who wants to get things done, and call out Trump's many mistakes and flaws. Where the hell were you guys since 2016?! No way they should have the WH again in 2028.
He’s looking and sounding even more Meatball than before. Zero charisma
Their redistricting didn’t work. A couple points won the big elections. Florida is back to competitive! That’s huge. He really thinks he’s the king of Florida lol. All this stuff happens with or without him.
If Mr. Rubber White Boots DeSantis thinks he is relevant again, that is perfect. His whinny voice alone is irritating. His misappropriation of Florida tax funds is also a definite no go.
DeSatan spent Floridians money to torture humans in Alligator Alcatraz, also stole 10 million for his election.
Well someone has come back to reality, obviously aiming for the presidency 2028
Don’t forget he funneled $10 million to his wife’s charity illegally.
More florida corruption
Dems will do nothing except witch hunt for two years which will just rally people to boot them out and elect another Republican. Democrats always fk everything up 😂
This guy is definitely going to be the next leader of the Republicans
This guy has been studying! He doesn’t want to sound MAGA and fear mongering anymore 😂
FL is corrupt. The epitome of. Think of all of the corruption that's taken place in that one state alone. It'll take a lot to turn it blue again. When I see DeSantis I see corruption. I would never vote for him.
OMG!!!! OMG!!! TEXAS WENT BLUE!!!! My mom was right!!! JA!!! JA!!!! All in part thx to Latinos!!! JA!!! JA!!!! d:-(D>...
Thought he learnt his lesson but he’s so cocky, how quick to run to cnn . He’s always quick to feel he’s the guy . This will be the end of his career
This is the reason why we will never support santos . He’s a snake
remember him flip flopping on trump before he ran in 24, then folding and supporting him. this spineless man will do whatever it takes for 28
Meatball Ron DeSantimonious
Florida doesn't just look like America's appendix. It's about as useful and just as likely to cause trouble.
This beta charlatan is positioning himself for 2028 - he's no less corrupt than Trump. At least Trump is an alpha and has charisma.
I have been denied my rights to vote since I turned 18. Florida has been the worse. I don’t know what I have done to be treated this way. Just know Florida is corrupted and voting is allowed to some not all even if you were born in this country.
I'm so glad Castor won.
Ron de sanctimonious…aka meatball Ron😅
The people don't like cheaters they like a fair game, good words - thank you.
DeSatan strikes again.<br>What happen to the investigation on his medicaid fraud?
DeSantis is a sleazebag and he has about as much of a chance of winning in 2028 as would Attila the Hun…
Sounds like someone’s running for President in 28’
Here we.go!!!!!!<br>They wait after the results to see how it would go,then act like they knew it before it happens.<br>Had they won,they would had kept on supporting that war ok.Yes he wants to be president.
He didn’t say all these things before election now that trump is down dagger this out 😂
Ron stayed away from<br>Trump
Worst Florida governor ever.
Desantis' gerrymandering was a failure
Did this state 'survive' thru its extensive censureship laws and bans?<br>Apartheid South Africa banned Pink Floyd. <br>Is the DeSantis ban on Floyd still on?
DeSantis loses.
Call him desanctimonious!!!
The guy who helped built ALCATRAZ is now the voice of reason???
Trump when left democrats and joined republicans it was obvious that he is only minded to achieve his agenda......
The blue wave is unstoppable.
whos this guy not sure i have heard this person speaks lol normally so trump
Im here. They cheat! They cheat! They cheat!
Lindsey graham predicted that electing Trump would be the end of the Republican Party
FOS 😢
That’s okay the state will be underwater before too long.
Anyone saw the Democratic Leadership run in any key states to help their constituents party ?! Schumer airplane tickets cost too much for the party budget and Hakeem was at an important development meeting to the guy he claims is crooked..
Someone’s prepping for their 2028 run
There you go again CNN. Ron DeSantis is your new darling, your Habibi.
I will give it to desantis it was smart to put something republicans would vote about for the state on the ballot to make republicans not stay home. <br><br>Its clear he was on serious defense for his state and it obviously worked to stop florida form going blue
One thing DeSantis will never see is himself becoming president; people are waking up. We are tired of the corruption, the manipulation, the poor economy, and the lies. We need people who represent us, and that is exactly what happened: voters rejected Trump’s Republican Party, while Democrats racked up victories. These Democratic wins—in both traditionally Republican states and key battleground states—were driven, in large part, by a rejection of Trump’s policies and agenda. A Democratic shift has taken place across the country—what some are calling a "blue tsunami." The biggest loser was Musk, who spent at least $474 million on the 2026 elections, including $224 million in Texas alone...ouch.
Because Florida wanted to prove " you can not fix stupid".
Florida is fishy
I live in Florida n I’m disgusted!!!!! Should hv bn BLUE HERE TOO!!!!! 😡😡😡💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙‼️‼️‼️‼️
PACIFICALLY LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
Remember George n Jen Bush elections!!!!!😡🤨😟🙄😖😳🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Key controversies, investigations, and allegations surrounding Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his administration involve:<br><br>Major Controversies & Allegations<br><br>• The Hope Florida ($10 Million Medicaid Settlement) Scandal:<br> • A leaked January 2026 Leon County grand jury report (made public in August 2026) stated that the DeSantis administration "misappropriated" $10 million from a Centene Medicaid overbilling settlement.<br> • The funds were routed through the Hope Florida Foundation (run by First Lady Casey DeSantis) and allegedly diverted to political committees like Keep Florida Clean and the Republican Party of Florida to oppose a 2024 recreational marijuana ballot initiative.<br> • The grand jury did not issue criminal indictments due to a lack of evidence pinning the initial decision to specific individuals, and Florida's First District Court of Appeal later criticized and quashed aspects of the grand jury report's legal claims, while Governor DeSantis denied wrongdoing and called the accusations a hoax.<br>• Public Transparency and Travel Records:<br> • Critics and reports by The Atlantic highlighted legislation passed under DeSantis shielding his travel records, private donor lists, and governor's mansion visitor logs from public disclosure.<br>• Crony Land Deals & Spending Priorities:<br> • Critics and advocacy groups like Equality Florida have targeted state expenditures—such as high-value conservation or land acquisitions involving political donors and large-scale funding shifts toward private school voucher programs and crisis pregnancy centers.<br>• Election Enforcement & Controversial Arrests:<br> • The DeSantis administration's Office of Election Crimes and Security faced scrutiny for high-profile crackdowns and voter fraud arrests (such as pre-election voter fraud indictments), which critics argue target political opponents or disenfranchise voters.<br>He needs to be thoroughly investigated and have a public trail!

Florida is the sh*thole of America... I know I live here.. even worse when Trump moved here....
GOP cheated by re drawing the districts in Florida.
DeSantis has been backing far away from Maga for about a year now . And he has been standing up to Trump. He is a true Republican that just got stuck in Trump wave at first . Now he isnt riding Trump coat tails .
Republicans cannot tell the difference between Iraq and Iran, or Sunni or Shia.
At least he’s honest, but sorry Ron your not presidential material
If we went to war, $6 gas was a reality and epstein got mroe news in October then maybe Florida could've had a democrat senator, democrat governor and maybe lost 3-5 congressional seats.
I HATE FLORIDA!!!
The Democrat Party didn’t send any money to Florida. That’s why Florida didn’t go Blue. It wasn’t anything Florida Republicans did. 😉
A State full of elderly Boomers that's slowly sinking into the ocean: Seems too apropos, doesn't it?
Looks like someone is eyeing a 2028 run as the anti-trump administration candidate
He was MAGA before there was a MAGA.
Ashley was not re elected she was elected. She was placed there by DeSantis
Corruption? Says the idiot who stole 10 million dollars from sick children. What an a-hole. Ronnie "Go Go Boots" DeSatan lost his super majority in the Florida legislature that theyve had since 1996. The blue wave definitely hit Florida. 2 points from turning almost every seat in this state. Young voters want nothing to do with the Republican party. The boomers that you depend on are dying. Change will be here soon.
Musk can move to Florida. Temporarily.
same as ever in your country. it's all about money and power and not about the future of the world!
He is such a loser
He getting ready for that run.
I’ve never seen this guy so sober and truthful. Why are you running?😂😂😂😂
DeSantis and his wife know all about corruption!
I liked the Republican who said they need to do some soul searching. First, they need to find their soles before they can "search" it.
haha very carefully constructed answer about Trump and the direction of Republicans. Id say he's lining up for Hegseths job. Some of these voices we are now hearing from...where were they the last two years? Notice very few are still coming out blaming Trump for them losing their jobs.
Florida cheats steals lies
Florida is a trip.
Yea im not believing florida
Now that Texas has gone to the Democrats, those Data centers that were intended to go to Texas will now be heading to ..... Florida..
don't florida my texas
He said. We ran transgender ads years ago. Trend politics.
Ron you better thank democrat party for refusing to help funding Angie Nixon
Florida isn't surprising. Florida man is a thing for a reason
Why are you giving him a platform, he was in it, first to redraw the maps. He's a criminal as well. He's not smart.
Only now they fess up to this bs. So now they are no longer kissing trumps ass because they now need to jump the ship.
Ice have not hit Florida hard enough so a lot of spanish folks still vote for republican,<br> I hope they remember this when they getting dragged.
He's getting ready for 2028, he's throwing everyone in his party under the bus 😂😂😂
What about those that couldn't get out and vote because of flooding?
Up next
