DeSantis knocks Fried one day after campaign launch: ‘She does nothing’
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Wednesday knocked Democratic challenger Nikki Fried, just a day after she launched her 2022 gubernatorial campaign.
Speaking at a press conference, DeSantis offered his thoughts on the state’s agriculture commissioner: “Here’s what I say: Nikki Fried has done nothing in office. She does nothing.”
Fried responded by saying she must have struck a nerve, adding that governors don’t throw “temper tantrums.”
I think we struck a nerve with @GovRonDeSantis. Temper tantrums are for toddlers, not Governors.

Fried, who has been a vocal critic of DeSantis, launched her campaign on Tuesday, pledging to fix the “rigged, corrupt system in Florida.”
It’s time to break the rigged, corrupt system in Florida with #SomethingNew.
That’s why I’m running for Governor.
