Standing ovation when DeSantis talks about fighting "gender ideology" and Disney. "It is wrong to teach a kid that they were born in the wrong body. It is wrong to teach them that gender is a choice." — PolitiTweet.org

DeSantis on using National Guard to prevent riots in 2020: "We were not going to let the state of Florida burn to the ground like so many cities in this country." "When we had a prosecutor who said he wouldn't enforce laws he didn't like, I removed him from his post." — PolitiTweet.org

"We were the nation's citadel of freedom," DeSantis says of the state during covid. When people immigrated to Florida, "they felt like they were arriving in West Berlin from East Berlin." — PolitiTweet.org

There was applause at this conference for Rs who'd said Rs need to get over their 2020 angst and take advantage of early/mail voting. Bigger applause when DeSantis says: "We've made ballot-harvesting a third degree felony." But! "Whatever the rules are, take advantage of that." — PolitiTweet.org

@jdawsey1 Yeah she updated that when she was in Iowa this summer; she'd run "if it looks like there's a place for me." https://t.co/60ZD6yTz6I — PolitiTweet.org

DeSantis talks about bringing back water from the Sea of Galilee to baptize his children - then losing the bottle to a cleaner before his second was born. He made an appeal and "within 24 hours, there were people in Israel digging in the Sea of Galilee, sending us water." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
DeSantis talks about holding public events "in Judea and Samaria," making him the first American politician to do so. "I don't care what the State Department says. They are not occupied territory. It is disputed territory." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
DeSantis starts with scoreboad. "We secured record margins with Hispanic voters. We swept the suburbs all over Florida. Our margins with rural voters were gravity-defying... we won the highest share of the Jewish vote for any Republican candidate in Florida history." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
DeSantis walks onstage to "Sweet Florida" - he's the only R political figure whose walk-on music includes his name. "Our kids are in school and we can go to church on Sunday/ And it's all because DeSantis knows how to lead" — PolitiTweet.org

"I've won tough primaries, and tough general elections," says Haley. "When people underestimate me, it's always fun. But I've never lost an election, and I'm not going to start now." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
"A lot of people have asked if I'm gonna run for president," says Haley. "Now that the midterms are over, I'll look at it in a serious way, and I'll have more to say soon." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
"We have to start loving America once again," says Haley. Emphasizes her work to lower racial tension as gov: "When a black man named Walter Scott was murdered by dirty cops, we didn't have riots. We passed body cameras." — PolitiTweet.org

David Weigel @daveweigel
Haley's biggest applause line (which was included in a short video before her speech) is that if Biden gets a new Iran deal, "the next president will shred it on HER first day in office." Haley initially said she wouldn't run if Trump did, amended that late last year. — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
This is a perfect Haley crowd - thrilled with Trump admin foreign policy, looking for Rs who they think can expand the party's appeal. Haley gets big applause for pointing out she led the states effort to ban BDS: "We're up to 35 states and counting." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
Haley talks about falling test scores ("Do you really think we'll beat China if our kids can't read, write, and do simple math?") and school choice ("It's racist that Democrats think that minorities are incapable of picking schools for our children. We are perfectly capable.") — PolitiTweet.org

Haley says Rs know how to fix the economy: "We need to cut wasteful spending. We need to cut taxes. We need to pump more oil and gas than we ever have before. And we don't need Washington to pay people to sit on the couch." — PolitiTweet.org

"Joe Biden turns 80 tomorrow. Happy birthday, Mr. President, but it's time for a new generation to take over across the board." — PolitiTweet.org

Rs weren't a credible enough alternative to swing voters, Haley says: "They don't want chaos. They want strength, stability, and unity. We don't have that." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
Haley argues that the GOP's weak year wasn't done to "one person" (Trump) or "bad candidates," but bad fundraising and strategy. "Early and absentee voting are here to stay. We need to play the same game and turn out the maximum number of voters." — PolitiTweet.org
David Weigel @daveweigel
Haley singles out the Rs who won big: Brian Kemp, Ron DeSantis, Kim Reynolds. Talks about her own PAC's donations around country: "We raised $10 million that went straight into those candidates' campaign accounts." — PolitiTweet.org
