Gov. DeSantis snorts, laughs when asked if abortion means Florida is in play for Joe Biden [View all]

Florida’s Governor doesn’t often laugh at press conferences, but he couldn’t resist a guffaw Tuesday in Tampa.

The question that tickled Ron DeSantis’ funny bone?

Whether Florida is in play in November given Joe Biden and Kamala Harris devoting time and attention to the state in the wake of the Heartbeat Protection Act.

The ban on abortion in most cases after the sixth week of pregnancy goes into effect Wednesday, and Democrats are staking electoral hopes on a constitutional amendment protecting the procedure up until the point of fetal viability.

The Governor noted the state has 900,000 more Republicans than Democrats, providing an “uphill climb” for Democrats, before going on to spotlight issues like interest rates, illegal immigration and inflation to say the administration is “trying to figure out everything (they) could” to counter-message.
