With much still remaining to be decided in gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional races across the land, the election night’s biggest winner appears to have been the man who became the face of the resistance to the insane COVID regime of forced masking, forced vaccinations, and forced business and school closures—Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
Under DeSantis’s leadership, Florida defied the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the rest of the public-health cabal by never imposing a mask or vaccine mandate and by generally keeping schools and businesses open.
In many instances, the state also prevented local areas from imposing mask or vaccine mandates. Florida even sued the CDC over the agency’s claim that it had the authority to impose a nationwide mask mandate on public transportation. As DeSantis put it in his acceptance speech, “Florida was a refuge of sanity when the world went mad.”
