Fox News
Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis and first lady Casey DeSantis sat down with Fox News Digital in a joint interview.
"The governor keeping the schools open has done so much for these kids’ emotional and mental well-being." "I think we are divided, and I think it's very unfortunate. … I think that there's a lot of entities that make a profit off of divisiveness." "People are more proud to live in Florida than they've ever been in my lifetime, and I was born and raised here."
As part of his wife's commitment to continue fighting, Gov. DeSantis proposed to increase the state's budget by 60% for cancer research, bringing the total to $100 million. The first lady told Fox News Digital that early detections and screenings for cancer were imperative, especially in the aftermath of the pandemic that saw a large decline in individuals seeking preventative medical treatment.
