Ron DeSantis on Pot and Abortion
Ron DeSantis conceded that most Floridians disagree with him on issues like pot and abortion.
Let's just be honest, they were pushing issues in which probably more people agreed with them than agreed with me or agreed with us.
DeSantis noted that the Adult Personal Use of Marijuana amendment and the Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion were popular, with a majority of Floridians supporting them. He described pot as "somewhat popular" and acknowledged that many Floridians are not pro-life.
- Adult Personal Use of Marijuana amendment: 56% support
- Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion: 57% support
DeSantis' efforts to "barnstorm" the state contributed to the initiatives falling short.
