ROCHESTER, N.H. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is vowing to take aim at China, government bureaucrats and what he describes as «the elites» as the Republican presidential candidate unveils a ten-point economic plan to «fight for the middle class.»

We will declare our economic independence from the central planners who seek to advance their political agenda the expense of the well-being of average Americans.»
