Before we begin, I’d like to take time to congratulate Ron DeSantis and — [applause] of course, a really terrific person who, I’ve gotten to know his wife, Casey — for having run a great campaign for president. He ran a really good campaign. They think it’s easy doing this stuff, right? But as you know, he left the campaign trail today at 3 p.m., and in so doing, he was very gracious and he endorsed me. And I also look forward to working with Ron and everybody else to defeat crooked Joe Biden.
