January 1, DeSantis says Florida ports could fix supply chain issues, save Christmas

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said the Sunshine State’s ports could handle the imports currently offshore on the West Coast and Georgia.

“We are going to make sure Americans get their Christmas Gifts this season,” DeSantis said.

Last week, DeSantis called President Joe Biden “the Grinch that stole Christmas due to the ongoing supply chain crisis robbing our loved ones of gifts under the tree.”

On Tuesday, DeSantis announced that Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) and other Florida ports are offering incentives to businesses who want to move their cargo to Florida.

“We in Florida have the ability to help alleviate these logjams and ameliorate these problems with the supply chain,” DeSantis said. “It really is, I think, a model for the rest of the country.”

“Florida’s here. We’ve got capacity,” the Governor said.
