Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
Democrats have been harsh critics of Florida’s response to COVID-19. The state was one of the first to re-open its economy and end extra federal unemployment aid. Overall, DeSantis’ approach to the virus has been spot on as it often goes against recommendations being pushed by liberal Washington politicians. After the CDC released new guidelines for vaccinated Americans DeSantis made it clear Florida will not be imposing any mask mandates on citizens and that Floridians can choose the best way to protect themselves.
“There is no indication that areas with mask mandates have performed any better than areas without mask mandates. In fact, this policy could actually backfire,” DeSantis told a Fox News reporter.
