DeSantis vs. Harris: A Battle for Political Survival
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has invited Vice President Kamala Harris to discuss the state's new African American history curriculum, which includes the idea that slavery benefited enslaved people. DeSantis criticized Harris for labeling Florida parents as "extremists" and expressed his desire to set the record straight. However, the invitation seems unlikely to be accepted, as Harris has called the curriculum "revisionist history." DeSantis' stance on slavery has drawn criticism from his 2024 primary opponents and the working group responsible for the curriculum. The controversy is overshadowing DeSantis' economic plan and raises questions about his seriousness as a candidate.
