<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida">Florida</a> Governor Ron DeSantis warned in an interview over the weekend that the push from Democratic politicians to make everyone have an electric vehicle presents serious risks to U.S. national security and the economy.</p>
<p>DeSantis made the remarks during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; when asked about President Joe Biden joining the picket line with striking auto workers.</p>
<p>&#8220;They are going to really hurt the whole automobile industry. It is going to hurt jobs, forcing EVs,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;A lot of people don’t want EVs, a lot of Americans can’t afford EVs. It will make our country more dependent on communist China which we definitely don’t need to be doing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What they’re doing in California, Newsom and Biden have partnered up, they are requiring these big rigs to be electric,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And so, we’re at the Port of Long Beach, this is very important to be able to move product for the entire country’s economy. These big rigs, they go, like 100 miles on an electric, then they’ve got to do a charge. It is totally, totally ridiculous. So, I’m going to come in as president, we’re going to reverse all of those Biden EV mandates, we’re going to save the American automobile.&#8221;</p>
<p>DeSantis said that forcing big rigs to become electric will &#8220;impact our supply chain&#8221; because they need to be recharged so frequently which will &#8220;hurt inflation, that will hurt our economy.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s putting ideology ahead of anything that’s practical, and I think the truckers were really excited we were there to shine a light on some of the insanity that’s going on out California,&#8221; he added.</p>
