More than a dozen Utah state legislators will endorse him for president at the event, our friends at Playbook in D.C. ![]() DeSantis will be in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he is scheduled to hold a press conference with state leaders at the state Capitol. If the past is prologue, however, expect the governor and his supporters to respond forcefully to Harris soon. Prediction - The other messaging from Diaz and others is that the critics of the standards are in the thrall of the state’s teacher union - which has clashed repeatedly with the DeSantis administration over the past few years. Lanfranconi drew attention to this part: “Any attempt to reduce slaves to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength, courage and resiliency during a difficult time in American history.” Alex Lanfranconi, who works as a spokesperson for Education Commissioner Manny Diaz, late Thursday afternoon tweeted out a statement from those who worked on the new standards. But there has been some pushback from state education officials about the rising criticism. Response - There hasn’t been any direct response from DeSantis about this. And then on Thursday evening the White House announced that Harris would visit Florida, where she would “deliver remarks on the fight to protect fundamental freedoms, specifically, the freedom to learn and teach America’s full and true history.” So it looks the Biden administration is leaning into this.

And it appears she plans to do it again when she touches down later today in Jacksonville. Rules of engagement - But Vice President Kamala Harris laid into the DeSantis administration during her keynote address on Thursday at Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc.’s national convention in Indianapolis. Ron DeSantis on a daily basis jabs, chides and criticizes President Joe Biden, it seems that the White House has frequent patches of remaining quiet. ![]()
