“Repeal section 230. Money will not pick the Republican nominee in 2024, it will be the will of the people who yearn for a proven leader to stop the madness in Washington.  I am proud to be on the Trump train in South Carolina, which is Trump country!

 

When it comes to making America safe, respected by our friends, and feared by our enemies, there is no better choice than President Donald J. Trump.  When it comes to President Trump: secure borders, tax cuts, strong economic growth, fair trade agreements, historic peace agreements in the middle east - it’s not rhetoric, it’s a record of accomplishment.” – Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina

DeSantis Tried To Destroy Social Security & Medicare 

 

DeSantis has voted not to protect Medicare and Social Security for South Carolina’s seniors.

 

As a congressman, DeSantis voted to raise the eligibility age to 70 to receive full Social Security benefits—in 2013, in 2014, and in 2015.

 

Before DeSantis was even elected to Congress, he said it was “necessary to make reforms” to Social Security.

 

On DeSantis’ first day in Congress, he called “to restructure some of these entitlements,” such as Social Security.

 

In Congress, DeSantis voted twice to cut Medicare benefits in 2015 and 2017.

 

A disciple of Paul Ryan, DeSantis said in one interview, “I would embrace proposals like Paul Ryan offered, and other people have offered, that are going to provide some market forces in there, more consumer choice, and make it so that it’s not just basically a system that’s just going to be bankrupt when you have new people coming into it.”

DeSantis Has Made It Clear That He Won’t Protect The United States On The World Stage

In March 2023, DeSantis characterized Russia’s war in Ukraine as a “territorial dispute,” but later clarified and called Putin a war criminal.

 

Ron DeSantis Voted To Outsource American Jobs

 

In 2014, DeSantis voted to block companies who wish to bring back American jobs from claiming a tax credit worth 20% of expenses related to moving back to the United States.

 

That same year, DeSantis voted to allow companies that outsource American jobs to still receive lucrative government contracts. President Trump has promised to block any company which outsources jobs to China from receiving government contracts.

 

In Congress, Ron DeSantis opposed President Trump’s America First trade agenda, which leveled the playing field for American workers and businesses and forced China to buy more American made goods.

 

Ron DeSantis Voted To Raise Your Taxes

 

In Congress, DeSantis cosponsored the so-called “Fair Tax Act” three times—in 2013, in 2015, and in 2017— which called for a new 23% national sales tax.

 

The Tax Policy Center found that Ron DeSantis’ “Fair Tax Act,” would have raised taxes on working, middle-class families.

 

Under DeSantis’ plan, 90% of earners would see a tax hike.

 

DeSantis’ proposed “Fair Tax” would have added trillions to deficits over 10 years.
