DeSantis Courts Young Evangelicals, Signs Controversial Abortion Law
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke to thousands of evangelical college students at Liberty University, pitching himself as a defender of traditional values and morality in the public square. The visit was part of DeSantis's national tour of conservative centers as he builds momentum for his widely anticipated entry into the 2024 presidential campaign. DeSantis did not explicitly mention the abortion law he signed the previous night, but he touted his record in Florida on an array of issues, including new restrictions on gender-affirming medical treatments. The question remains whether DeSantis can loosen the extraordinary bond between white evangelicals and former President Donald Trump.
