Don’t Underestimate the Moms

Florida’s first lady re-upped last year’s “Mamas for DeSantis” campaign yesterday with a new advertisement:

Kudos to Casey, who amply makes up for her husband’s supposed social deficiencies, and who has long been called Ron’s campaign weapon. Suburban women are a key demographic in the next presidential election and already one in which Donald Trump underperforms. Moms don’t much like politicians who threaten to grab women by their privates, or who commit fraud to cheat on their postpartum wives with porn stars.

Education was a selling point in the governor’s Florida run and is an issue among Republican hopefuls on which he clearly holds upper ground. Casey DeSantis’s appeal comes after parent groups like Moms for Liberty and Parents Defending Education were ridiculously labeled “extremist” by the Southern Poverty Law Center and at a time when families are protesting actions by school boards and demanding parental rights. The DeSantis call to restore sanity in education might attract a good amount of those moms, who are ready and willing to fight for their kids.
