They borrowed, they printed, they spent,\u2064 and now you\u2019re paying more for \u200beverything. They are the reason for that, they have shut down \u200bour national sovereignty by allowing our border to be wide open. So, please spare me the crocodile tears for these people. They need to change what\u2019s going on. And where\u2019s Joe Biden? He\u2019s completely\u2063 missing an action from leadership.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But DeSantis didn&#8217;t stop there. He turned \u200dhis attention to Trump, criticizing him for not showing up and for contributing significantly to the U.S. national\u200b debt. &#8220;And you know \u2062who else is\u2062 missing in action? Donald\u2064 Trump \u2064is missing in action, he should be on \u200bthis\u2064 stage tonight,&#8221; DeSantis declared. &#8220;He owes it to you to\u2062 defend his record, where they added $7.8 trillion to the debt, that set the stage for the inflation that we have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As governor of Florida, DeSantis highlighted his own accomplishments, boasting about\u200d cutting taxes, running surpluses, \u200band paying down over 25% \u2063of the state debt.
