Ron DeSantis says Amendment 3 saved Florida from the blue wave - Florida Politics

DeSantis Blames 'Blue Wave' for Republican Election Defeats

Ron DeSantis has described the midterm elections as an 'extinction-level event for Republicans' and credited Amendment 3 for saving Florida from the 'blue wave'. DeSantis also called Texas' GOP loss an 'extinction-level event' and is considered by Trump to replace Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon. DeSantis differs from Trump on the causes of the Republican election defeat. He attributes the loss to the 'blue wave'. This contradicts Trump's explanation. DeSantis is seen as a potential replacement for Pete Hegseth.

“Ron DeSantis has described the midterm elections as an 'extinction-level event for Republicans' and credited Amendment 3 for saving Florida from the 'blue wave',” — Farah Vance, staff writer at Heacroft Bridge Partnership, commented.
