Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took aim at President Joe Biden during a speech at the Republican National Convention, labeling him a “10 a.m. to 4 p.m.” president and stating that “America can’t afford a Weekend at Bernie’s presidency”. DeSantis, who was once a rival of former President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination, has now endorsed Trump’s candidacy, along with other former opponents such as Nikki Haley.
DeSantis’s comments reflect a growing sentiment among Republicans that Biden’s presidency has been ineffective and out of touch with the needs of the American people. By referring to Biden as a “10 a.m. to 4 p.m.” president, DeSantis suggests that the president is only active during limited hours, leaving critical issues unaddressed during the rest of the day.
The reference to “Weekend at Bernie’s” is a nod to the 1989 comedy film, implying that Biden’s presidency is being propped up artificially, similar to the movie’s plot. This criticism aligns with Republican concerns about Biden’s mental and physical fitness to serve another term, with some Democrats reportedly circulating a letter urging the party to delay Biden’s formal nomination.

As the Republican National Convention continues in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the party is presenting a unified front, with former rivals endorsing Trump’s candidacy. The convention’s second day focused on the theme of “Make America Safe Once Again,” emphasizing issues such as crime and immigration.
With the 2024 presidential election looming, the Republican Party is seeking to contrast its vision with Biden’s policies and present a strong alternative to voters. DeSantis’s speech is part of this effort, as the party aims to rally its base and attract independent voters who may be dissatisfied with the current administration.
