Speaking on June 30 to a hall full of Moms For Liberty at their convention in Philadelphia, Ron DeSantis leaned into the parts of his platform and his record that appeal to so-called “Mama Bears.”

He talked about the work he’s done as Florida’s governor on education, and parental rights, and to reverse the woke agenda pervading school systems. He spoke of restoring civics education in the state’s schools and colleges. He talked about helping single mothers get off welfare.
