Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., held a press conference Tuesday in Duval County, near his former congressional district.
Some reporters tried to ask pointed questions… but DeSantis outmaneuvered them.
For example, one reporter from First Coast News said on a hot mic before the conference, “ The governor also had some words of advice for the audience. “Anytime you hear about something that seems so outlandish, just understand: They’re manufacturing that to try to create a narrative,” he said.

One member of the press asked, “Nikki Haley announced her presidential run today, do you plan on following suit?” DeSantis laughed it off. “Wouldn’t you like to know,” DeSantis said.
