Trump Criticizes DeSantis Over 20% Electric Rate Increase in Florida.
Former President Donald Trump has criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for allegedly approving a 20% increase in Florida’s electricity rates after receiving a $9.5 million campaign contribution from Florida Power and Light. Trump has been relentless in his criticism of DeSantis, even as the governor takes time off the campaign trail to respond to Hurricane Idalia. DeSantis has not yet responded to the allegations. Trump’s remarks come after some criticized him for being silent on DeSantis’ hurricane preparations. Trump concludes by stating that DeSantis’ campaign and poll numbers have “crashed,” to the detriment of Florida.
