On Nov. 17, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced continued record visitation to Florida in the third quarter of 2022.

“People are visiting Florida in record numbers because Governor DeSantis has championed freedom,” DeSantis’ press secretary Bryan Griffin said in a statement to The Epoch Times. “He refused to shut down the state during COVID and has always resisted vaccine mandates and forced masking. By standing up for freedom, the governor helped Florida avoid the economic turmoil that many lockdown states are still facing today.”
