Florida's Governor Is A Younger Version of Trump
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) compared opening Florida schools to re-opening Walmart and Home Depot in an attempt to argue schools could operate amid the coronavirus pandemic during a press conference Thursday afternoon.

But I’m confident if you can do Home Depot, if you can do Walmart, if you can do these things, we can absolutely do the schools. I want our kids to be able minimize education gap that I think has developed.”
