Ron DeSantis: Focused on Fixing the Country<\/h2>\n<p>OSKALOOSA, Iowa\u200d \u2014 Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is determined to distance himself from\u200c former President Donald Trump&#8217;s\u200c legal troubles. He firmly believes that his\u2062 focus should be on finding solutions to fix\u200c the country \u2062as part of \u2062his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>When questioned about special counsel Jack Smith indicting Trump on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/honduran-migrant-sentenced-in-international-murder-for-hire-case-in-texas\/\" title=\"Honduran Migrant Sentenced in International Murder-for-Hire Case in Texas\">additional charges related<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ny-attorney-general-says-lawsuit-against-trump-could-be-delayed\/\" title=\"NY AG: Lawsuit Against Trump May Face Delay.\">federal classified documents case<\/a>, DeSantis\u2062 chose \u2062not to discuss the\u200c former president&#8217;s &#8220;conduct.&#8221; Instead, he reiterated his commitment to &#8220;end\u200d the weaponization&#8221; of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/better-than-expected-u-s-economy-added-638000-jobs-in-october-unemployment-dropped-to-6-9\/\" title=\"Better Than Expected: U.S. Economy Added 638,000 Jobs in October, Unemployment Dropped to 6.9%\">federal government<\/a> and restore the public&#8217;s trust in its institutions.<\/p>\n<h3>Three Key Takeaways from Jack Smith&#8217;s Superseding \u2063Indictment<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I want to spend less time litigating the past and more time concentrating on the future and\u2062 what we need to achieve as a nation,&#8221; the governor\u2064 told reporters in \u2064Albia \u200con Friday. &#8220;We cannot afford distractions. We must keep our focus on the task at hand. As president, I will conduct myself in a manner that prioritizes\u200d the \u2062people&#8217;s concerns.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When faced with opposition, the key is not to harm oneself \u2062and to stay focused on the goal. That&#8217;s exactly what we will do: keep our eyes on the ball, stay focused on the mission, and deliver results for the American people,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also \u2063clarified his remarks about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stating that he agrees with the\u200b Democrat&#8217;s views on the country&#8217;s restrictive COVID-19 pandemic response and Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Recently, DeSantis seemed open to \u200dconsidering Kennedy for a position\u200c at the Food and Drug Administration or Centers\u2063 for Disease \u200dControl and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want to collaborate with individuals across the political spectrum to ensure that such situations \u200dnever arise\u200c again,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;However, it&#8217;s important to note that this is different from appointing someone to the \u2064CDC. I\u2064 will\u2063 appoint a qualified physician or Ph.D. to that position, of course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also responded to Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), who indirectly criticized the governor this week for defending the Florida Board of Education&#8217;s approval of a curriculum that has been criticized for suggesting \u2064that \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-says-his-approach-to-trump-indictments-is-to-not-shoot-yourself-in-the-foot\/\" title=\"DeSantis aims to avoid self-sabotage on Trump indictments.\">slaves acquired\u200c skills<\/a> for their\u2063 own\u200c benefit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the reasons our \u2062country has faced challenges is because D.C. Republicans\u2062 often accept false narratives and lies perpetuated by the Left,&#8221;\u2062 DeSantis stated. &#8220;To accept the falsehoods that Kamala Harris has been \u200cspreading, even after \u200bthey have been debunked, is not the way to go\u2062 about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
