DeSantis vowed to repeal the First Step Act, a criminal justice law signed by Trump in 2018, which he called a "jailbreak bill." However, DeSantis himself voted for an earlier version of the bill when he was in Congress. DeSantis also criticized Trump's handling of the pandemic and his support for Fauci, whom he said should have been fired.
