""Someone [playing] warfare against Florida Republicans... you're gonna find out. He's like, 'Oh, if you do the redistricting thing, we're gonna take out all your members.' What I said was, 'Go ahead, make my day.'""
""I posted the map of that district today. It's got these like crab claws going out. It's ridiculous. That has been fixed. The notion that we would ever deviate from doing what's right because we're fielding threats from some machine politician in Brooklyn... that is not happening here.""
Governor Ron DeSantis criticized House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, claiming Florida's new congressional maps were a response to political threats from national Democrats. The Republican Party of Florida approved the redistricting plan to address population growth and legal requirements. DeSantis stated that the legislature acted swiftly after Jeffries opposed the redistricting. He emphasized the need to correct racial gerrymandering in Southern Florida, citing a recent Supreme Court decision as support for their approach. DeSantis contrasted Florida's management with New York's, highlighting population and budget differences.
