LIVE: Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks in Tampa

Published | Video Starts at 10:46

We as a state have been ranked the number one economy in the country three years in a row by CNBC. We've also been ranked number one in economy by U.S. news and World Report. Our GDP, when I became governor, was 1 trillion, which was significant. Now it's close to 1.8 trillion. So we've had really significant economic growth. The only state I think that's had more economic growth since 2019 is Idaho. Now, they're a lot smaller, so it's easier to grow higher as a percentage. (10:46–10:56)
