Ron DeSantis&#8217;s presidential campaign is out with an ad on Wednesday slamming former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden for their part in raising the nation&#8217;s debt while in office.  <\/p>\n<p> The move comes as the United States&#8217;s debt clocks in at more than $32 trillion, the federal deficit is estimated to hit nearly $2 trillion at the end of fiscal 2023, and inflation rose to 3.7% in August, all of which has prompted Republican consternation about the nation&#8217;s finances.  <\/p>\n<p> TRUMPISM 2.0: INSIDE THE FORMER PRESIDENT&#8217;S PLANS FOR A SECOND TERM <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This government is spending way too much money. They&#8217;ve locked in the COVID-era levels of spending, which are totally unsustainable,&#8221; DeSantis says in the ad. &#8220;They borrowed, they printed, and they spent trillions and trillions of dollars since March of 2020 under the auspices of COVID and all these other things.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Toward the end of the Trump administration, in fiscal 2020, the nation&#8217;s debt increased to $26.9 trillion, a $7.4 trillion rise from fiscal 2016 before Trump took office. Part of the nation&#8217;s debt, while Trump was in office, is attributed to the coronavirus pandemic that led to Congress passing legislation that disbursed trillions of dollars to mitigate the economic losses.  <\/p>\n<p> The DeSantis ad alludes to Trump&#8217;s participating in the national debt with clips of the former president signing the pandemic legislation into law and clips of Biden shaking hands with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Republicans are very tough when they&#8217;re out of power, but when they get in power, they basically go on a spending binge too. And I think you&#8217;ve seen it over the last five or six years,&#8221; DeSantis says in the ad. &#8220;I can tell you, in Florida, we run budget surpluses. We have the second-lowest per capita debt ratio in the entire country.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We&#8217;ve paid down debt,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;I vetoed billions and billions of dollars of excessive spending. As a president, you&#8217;ve got to be willing to lean in and use the veto pen to be able to battle against this excessive spending.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Republican presidential candidates, including DeSantis, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, and former Vice President Mike Pence, have slammed Trump for his role in increasing the nation&#8217;s debt, while the Bureau of Labor Statistics&#8217;s August inflation report represents tough news for Biden, who has repeatedly touted his &#8220;Bidenomics&#8221; efforts to the public as he campaigns for reelection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
