DeSantis Tells Hakeem Jeffries to Make My Day' Over Gerrymandering Retaliation Threat
"We got this guy Hakeem Jeffries. Have you guys heard of him? I don't know that he'd do very well in Chipley if he ran for office, but he's threatening Florida."
"Go ahead. Make my day. Bring it on. I would like nothing better than to have him campaigning all across Florida."
"I don't know that he would do well here, I don't know that he would do well almost anywhere in Florida, and I don't think that's something that Floridians would want to see."
"We are not gonna be cowed by threats from some machine politician from Brooklyn. It doesn't work that way down here."
Ron DeSantis responded to Hakeem Jeffries' comments on redistricting by inviting him to Florida to challenge the Republican efforts. Jeffries praised Virginia's new congressional map favoring Democrats and threatened to target eight Florida seats. DeSantis expressed confidence in Florida's political landscape, suggesting Jeffries would not succeed in campaigning there. He emphasized that Florida would not be intimidated by threats from outside politicians and affirmed the readiness of the legislature to proceed with redistricting efforts despite challenges from Democrats.
