As a rudderless Republican Party continued to vote for a House speaker, some are pointing to the Florida governor as a paragon of conservative leadership.
Much of what DeSantis said that day was standard fare for the Republican Party: Concerns over the integrity of the southern border. Fears over the national debt, and bipartisan embrace of rampant government spending. An out-of-control federal bureaucracy.
"The contrast between DeSantis's speech and what was happening, at that very moment, in the House of Representatives could not have been greater," York"In Washington, Republicans are falling apart in the absence of leadership. Multiple agendas are at play, and no leader is strong to force competing factions to work with each other.
"It is not uncommon for there to be divisions within a political party, and it is possible for there to be multiple candidates for the position of speaker who are all members of the same party," Agranoff told."In such cases, it can be difficult for the party to unite behind a single candidate, as different factions within the party may support different candidates.
