Ron DeSantis: “With Hurricane Milton, we had 4.2 million people's power…”

“They weren't too nice to my state, and we had to do our duty to make sure that we got people up on their feet, and we were able to do that. In fact, With Hurricane Milton, we had 4.2 million people's power restored in 72 hours. That's a world record for hurricanes. So I'm glad to be here. I wanted to be here last year, but, you know, I also have young kids, so my wife and I have a daughter in kindergarten, a son in second grade, and a daughter in third grade.” (00:28–00:38)
