In Tampa, DeSantis declines to speak with reporters following electoral night disappointment

Gov. Ron DeSantis appeared at a bill signing event at a Christian evangelical school in Tampa on Wednesday, touting measures banning transgender minors from receiving gender-affirming care such as puberty blockers and an expansion of a law to prohibit classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity through the 8th grade.

But unlike other bill-signing events since DeSantis has been crisscrossing the state, the governor notably declined to answer any questions from the media.

His refusal to speak to reporters came after the two Republicans that he endorsed in elections on Tuesday night – Daniel Davis in the Jacksonville mayor’s race and Kelly Craft in the Kentucky GOP gubernatorial primary – both lost their contests.

“The DeSanctimonious backed candidate came in a DISTANT third,” former President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social page on Wednesday, referring to DeSantis’ endorsement of Craft, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations from 2019-2021 who finished behind both the Trump-backed candidate Daniel Cameron and another candidate in the Kentucky Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday night.

“Ron’s magic is GONE! He also lost, shockingly, in Jacksonville last night (Mayor),” Trump added.
