Only DeSantis And Ramaswamy Understood The GOP Base
Following the first 2024 GOP presidential primary debate on Wednesday, it s apparent only two of the candidates on stage seemed to understand the will of Republican voters: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy.
Whether it was on domestic or foreign issues, both candidates used Wednesday s debate to articulate positions on significant topics that concern millions of everyday conservatives. Regarding U.S. foreign policy toward the Russia-Ukraine war, for example, DeSantis and Ramaswamy were the only two on stage who raised their hands when the Fox News moderators asked which candidates would not support continuous U.S. funding to Ukraine, aligning them with a majority of Americans.
Both candidates also emphasized the importance of prioritizing America s borders over other countries , with DeSantis saying he d utilize military assets against the cartels that operate across the U.S.-Mexico border.
I didn’t watch the debate but caught the highlights.
