Ron DeSantis Fights Back and Emerges as a Contender in Republican Race
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized a Politico article that portrayed his wife, Casey, as a sinister figure, calling it a "hatchet job" by liberal "bottom-feeders." The article described Casey as Lady Macbeth, who might cause her husband's downfall. DeSantis defended his wife, saying she is a strong woman who has made a huge difference in Florida. He also launched his presidential campaign this week, raising $8.2 million within the first 24 hours.
