Moreover, DeSantis asserted that his own age would make him a more viable candidate for the Republican Party. He confidently declared, “I’m in the prime of my life. I go in day one, I’ll serve two terms, deliver big results, and get the country moving again. That’s what Republican voters want to see.”
