DeSantis Cites Trump’s Support for Mail Ballots and FBI’s Role in Hunter Story Censorship
During an interview with NBC News, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate, shared his thoughts on the 2020 election. DeSantis acknowledged that the election had its flaws, including mismanagement and changes due to the pandemic. However, he also pointed out that certain actions by the Trump administration contributed to these issues.
DeSantis specifically highlighted the support given by the Trump administration’s CARES Act to mass mail-in voting. The act funded mail-in ballots across the country and was signed into law by President Donald Trump himself. This support raised concerns among Republicans regarding the potential impact of mail-in ballots on the election.
Moreover, DeSantis drew attention to the collaboration between the FBI, under the Trump administration, and tech companies like Facebook in censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story. He emphasized that this collaboration showcased a lack of government control during Trump’s tenure.
DeSantis encouraged Republican voters to take these factors into account when reflecting on the 2020 election and its surrounding circumstances. He concluded by stating that while there were problematic aspects from both sides, Trump’s actions and decisions also influenced the election environment.
