Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis began Wednesday night's Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee by saying the country needs to say goodbye to Bidenomics.
President Joe Biden has claimed his economic policy, which he has labeled Bidenomics, is working.
DeSantis disagreed strongly.
"Our country is in decline," DeSantis said in answering the first question of the debate. "This decline is not inevitable. It's a choice. We need to send Joe Biden back to his basement and reverse American decline.
"And it starts with understanding we must reverse Bidenomics so that middle-class families have a chance to succeed again."
The governor said, "We cannot succeed as a country" under Biden.
