Ron DeSantis is waging a war on woke, and winning,&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>the narrator says in the video. As clips show DeSantis engaging with supporters, the governor proclaims that <strong>&#8220;woke is an existential threat to our society.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, it&#8217;s an attack on truth,&#8221; he says. <strong>&#8220;It&#8217;s a form of cultural Marxism.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The commercial references DeSantis&#8217;s feud with Disney that started more than a year ago when the corporation criticized the governor for supporting legislation that bans discussions of gender identity and sexuality in elementary schools. It also draws on DeSantis&#8217;s criticism of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tenn-gov-lee-transgender-athletes-would-destroy-womens-sports\/\" title=\"Tenn. Gov.

He often touts the line <strong>&#8220;Florida is where woke goes to die&#8221;<\/strong> while out on the campaign trail. It&#8217;s a sign of one tactic that DeSantis is using to win over Trump loyalists \u2014 running to the right of the former president.<\/p>\n<p>The governor remains the consistent second-place candidate in the GOP 2024 field, according to polling. But his poll numbers have somewhat dipped while Trump&#8217;s numbers increased despite ongoing legal problems, including a 37-count indictment over allegations he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnns-smerconish-trump-suffering-death-by-a-thousand-cuts-legally-speaking\/\" title=\"CNN's Smerconish: Trump Suffering 'Death by a Thousand Cuts, Legally Speaking'\">mishandled classified documents<\/a> after leaving office.<\/p>\n<p>Many conservatives have signaled that DeSantis is their top choice after Trump, pointing to his efforts in solidifying Florida as a conservative state and his support for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-democrats-lose-historic-advantage-in-handling-education-ahead-of-midterms\/\" title=\"Poll: Democrats Lose Historic Advantage in Handling Education Ahead of Midterms\">parental rights movement<\/a>, which Never Back Down is seizing upon to woo primary voters.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Ron DeSantis is fearless fighting for our kids, fighting for our values and winning.
