🚨 TAPPER: Are you considering running for president in 2028? GOV. RON DESANTIS: "I'll be a free man come Jan. 5th." "I haven't planned anything...but last night should be a wakeup call for our party. We got blasted into oblivion. Florida is the last one standing." "Somebody that wants to run — why are you running? You have something you want to accomplish. I'm more about doing it to accomplish things, not to be somebody." DeSantis has by my count made at least FOUR public media appearances today alone, the day after we got wiped out in the midterms Part of that is because Florida uniquely held the line last night ☀️ We want to accomplish 2 things over the next 2 years: deliver domestic common sense victories and CLEARLY prove to voters Democrats are NOT going to be everything they thought!

🚨 Ron DeSantis is GOING OFF on Republicans for SQUANDERING our TWO YEAR TRIFECTA -- ESPECIALLY on deportations "Why haven't we STRIPPED JURISDICTION from the federal courts over deportation cases?!" "Why haven't we done IMMIGRATION?! Shut off H1B visas! Why haven't we CODIFIED Trump's immigration executive orders? There's SO MANY THINGS that could have been done. They didn't even ATTEMPT it, Laura." "A lot of our voters who STAYED HOME. They stayed home because they were FRUSTRATED with the lack of productivity from Republicans in the House and Senate." Senate Republicans had everything they needed to LOCK IN conservative immigration policy for a GENERATION. They didn't even TRY.

"This is all about common sense vs crazy. Affordability has to be the policy discipline of this White House." @jsolomonReports joined me to lay out the 5 pillars for a conservative recovery, and his diagnosis of the GOP’s failure is spot-on: “[Republicans] were handed a historic coalition in ’24, and they squandered it by failing to stay focused on what Americans asked them to fix. Democrats are going to do the same thing: they’re going to overplay their hand with extraordinary alacrity over the next two years. That is a moment where infrastructure, focus, message discipline, coalition building can put the Republicans back in business much quicker than the normal recovery from a drubbing like this election.”
