DeSantis Dodges 2024 Questions At Debate, Calls Crist “Worn Out Old Donkey” That He’ll “Put Out To Pasture”

The Washington Post reports:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) dodged questions about a potential presidential run and abortion restrictions at his first and only debate Monday with Democratic challenger Charlie Crist, in a race where DeSantis’s national ambitions have loomed.

Crist asked DeSantis to “look in the eyes of the people of the state of Florida” and say whether he would serve a full four-year term if reelected. “He won’t tell you,” said Crist, who has framed his race as “Democrats’ last chance to stop” DeSantis before he seeks national office.

The governor then said Crist was the one interested in discussing 2024 and called him an “old donkey” before moving on to taxes, saying he decreased them in Florida while Crist has signed off on raising them.
