Speaking from the GOP presidential debate stage at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California Wednesday night, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis vowed to rid the country of President Joe Biden's burdensome regulations on the economy if he wins the White House. 

"Everything has gotten more expensive, you see insurance rates are going through the roof, people that are going to get groceries...I spoke to a woman in Iowa and she said, 'You know for the first time in my life I'm having to take things out of my grocery cart when I get to the checkout line because the total goes up so quickly.' So this is very real and people are hurting out there so we've got to address the underlying problem of Bidenomics," DeSantis said. 

After the comment, the DeSantis campaign sent out a review of his broader economic plan.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says that polls don't elect presidents, but voters elect presidents.

Reactions from conservatives on social media are pouring in following the conclusion of the second GOP presidential debate on Fox Business on Wednesday night. 

"I think the winners were Ron DeSantis and Doug Burgam," Fox News Host Will Cain posted on X. "This was what we expected in the first debate from DeSantis. It wasn’t a goodnight, in my estimation, for Nikki Haley and Tim Scott. When you constantly interrupt it usually diminishes yourself. I think that happened to Haley and Scott."

Conservative commentator Dana Loesch also posted on X that DeSantis "won this debate."

"He shot down bad faith arguments without seeming unpleasant and hit back with a record of achievements while rejecting clown show overtures. Everyone else on that stage is auditioning for VP, cable news, or a publisher."
