Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed back on views of a division in his party following the 2022 midterm elections, and addressed why he thought Republicans underperformed expectations.

“I think the election was interesting,” the newly reelected Florida governor said after a Thursday press conference in Key Biscayne, Florida, pointing to President Joe Biden’s lagging approval rate under economic uncertainty. “We assume we were going to end up with like 245 House members, we are 222, which is a huge underperformance. The question is, why did that happen?”
