Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently claimed that corrupt Democrats and the media are attempting to “whitewash” Vice President Kamala Harris’ past as they deal with the sudden exit of President Joe Biden from the 2024 race. DeSantis expressed optimism for Republicans, saying they are “in for a battle” against Harris but remain confident in their chances of victory.
The Governor highlighted that media outlets had worked hard to push Biden out and now all avenues of the left – corporate media, Hollywood, and academia – are scrambling to put the Democratic Party back together. He emphasized that while Kamala Harris may be “vapid” and “incredibly liberal,” she does not have any accomplishments in her political career. DeSantis further asserted that Harris “owns” the border crisis, inflation crisis, and other failures of the Biden administration.
GovTrack, a legislative analysis website, had previously identified Harris as the most liberal senator in 2019; however, it has now seemingly removed that data. DeSantis warned that allies of Kamala Harris are attempting to “whitewash things from her past” and that there will be an onslaught of lies during the upcoming election season.
During the 2020 Democratic presidential primary cycle, Harris took several hard-left positions, including support for Medicare for All, a ban on fracking, decriminalizing border crossings, and more. However, she has since walked back many of these stances. Biden abruptly endorsed Harris as his successor last week after announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race.
DeSantis believes that Trump’s administration was far more successful than the current administration, and voters will have a clear choice between the two in the upcoming election. Despite dropping out of the 2024 GOP primary earlier this year, DeSantis remains an influential figure within the Republican Party.
