Quick Glance: In the midst of 2024 conjecture, DeSantis strikes a tough tone in his inauguration speech.
- During his inauguration speech on Tuesday, Ron DeSantis (R) took aim at the "floundering federal establishment" in Washington, praising his accomplishments during his first term as governor and hailing Florida as a symbol of freedom.
