<p>CNN interviewed a group of &#8220;lifelong Democrat&#8221; mothers from across the country who are supporters of Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> because of the policies that he advocated for during the COVID pandemic.</p>
<p>The group of women is comprised of everyone from teachers to high-powered lawyers to former executives at major companies.</p>
<p>&#8220;If DeSantis were to run tomorrow, he would win, and that would be such a hard pill to swallow, I think, for many people,&#8221; said Vanessa Steinkamp, a teacher.</p>
<p>Steinkamp has been an avid DeSantis supporter for years, saying that his actions and words were backed by sincere &#8220;conviction&#8221; from the now-presidential candidate.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been down all over Florida, and you know what they all say? He helped my business open up,&#8221; she later added. &#8220;He helped my kids go to school. The media just fixates on the culture war pieces.&#8221;</p>
<p>Attorney Julie Hamill said that the group of moms, who met on social media, refer to the governor in a playful way as &#8220;Daddy DeSantis.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I have never voted for a Republican presidential candidate,&#8221; Hamill said. &#8220;I have always considered myself very socially liberal. But as we became more vocal on Twitter, we were really demonized.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jennifer Sey, the former Brand President of Levis, said that the women gravitated toward him because &#8220;he was very vocal&#8221; about &#8220;the need to open schools&#8221; during the pandemic.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1688648178298000&amp;usg=AOvVaw10v0UGh9BJZV8inaPuI6t7">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;In San Francisco, you could go to a bar or a strip club, but my high school student couldn&#8217;t go to English class,&#8221; Sey said.</p>
<p>CNN told their left-wing audience that data from the Department of Education shows that the moms &#8220;aren&#8217;t crazy&#8221; because children, especially minority children, were significantly hurt by the lockdowns and remote learning. The network noted that DeSantis was &#8220;early to open schools compared to other U.S. states.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sey said that the political Left does not want to have a debate about what public officials got wrong during the pandemic.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Left doesn&#8217;t want to have that debate. They&#8217;re never going to allow that debate,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I think there&#8217;s a lot of kind of incendiary tactics being used to smear [DeSantis]. I think they did.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sey said that she did not have an issue with DeSantis&#8217; fight against radical transgender ideologies, but she has some reservations about Florida&#8217;s six-week abortion ban. &#8220;I think if he made it clear that he&#8217;s a state&#8217;s rights person and that he&#8217;s not looking to kind of pass a national law in this regard, I would be less concerned,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Hamill also did not like the six-week abortion ban and worried that it could hurt his campaign.</p>
<p>The network said that none of the women want to see a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump and that they&#8217;re open to voting for DeSantis.</p>
