My friend makes snowflakes to give to politicians who come to Iowa - there are special messages for odious Republicans--please look at the snowflake carefully šŸ¤£šŸ˜‰"

Inaugural grounds included all the trappings of an event with more than itself in mind: Ron DeSantis is widely believed to be preparing a presidential run. (Danielle J. Brown)

The governor vowed to ā€œstand our groundā€ in defense of low taxes, parental rights in education, ā€œlaw and order,ā€ and more — although Democrats, independents, and overall progressives in Florida would likely beg to differ. The theme and tenor of the speech suggests that DeSantis spoke to a larger goal: running for president.
