#Florida

Florida is hot and that is not a weather report, but an economic forecast, according to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis.

"*You have lockdown states that are putting people out of business*," Governor DeSantis [said on TV.](https://video.foxnews.com/v/6232149899001) "*We focused on lifting people up. By doing that, you actually have new entrepreneurs coming to start new ventures, new restaurants are opening in Florida. New hotels are opening in Florida.*

*"So people are viewing Florida as a place they can follow their dreams. It is a free state,*" said Governor Ron DeSantis.

Governor DeSantis noted Florida has vaccinated about 1.75-M seniors so far, which is about 40% of all seniors in Florida.

"*There's a whole bunch of things we've been doing for COVID, but at the same time, we've lifted our state up, we've saved our economy, and I think we're going to be first out of the gate to put COVID behind in our country*."

Have a healthy holiday weekend, Keep the Faith!
