DeSantis, who by seemingly every metric is viewed as Trump's biggest challenger for the Republican presidential nomination, made the comments during aMonday with conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt that revolved around the"reconstitution of government."
Hewitt said Trump"hit three home runs" with the appointments, leading to question whether DeSantis would"make the same kind of pledge" to appoint judges nationally in a similar conservative vein. "Well, actually, I would say we'll do better than that," DeSantis said."I mean, I respect the three appointees he did, but none of those three are at the same level of Justice Thomas and Justice Alito. I think they are the gold standard, and so my justices will be along the lines of a Sam Alito and aFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis, GOP presidential candidate, watches his wife speak during a campaign rally at Port Neal Welding Company on May 31, 2023, in Salix, Iowa.
"I was able to replace three of the four liberals my first month in office with conservative justices," he said."I've since been able to make a number of appointments since then. So, we now have the most conservative state"And so, I think we have a really good track record on doing that. And in fact, two of my Supreme Court picks in my first year of office were elevated to the 11th Circuit by [Trump].
