Coming off a showdown with Disney and a month of headlines for waging fights over hot-button social issues, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis introduced himself to Republican primary voters in Nevada during a Wednesday campaign stop for US Senate candidate Adam Laxalt.
DeSantis recounted for a packed Las Vegas bar his battles against the Biden administration and Disney and rattled off his conservative victories. He called Florida the "tip of the spear" -- a hint at possible future fights -- and said Laxalt "will represent my voice in the United States Senate."
"This is our opportunity to rattle the foundations of this decaying administration in Washington," DeSantis said.
