“We can do it; we’ll do it,” DeSantis told a town hall in North Augusta, South Carolina, on Thursday. “The only reason I’m running is to win and deliver on these promises. That’s the only reason.”

DeSantis suggested the crowded field challenging Trump might not be there to truly run for president.

“I’m not trying to get my name out there,” DeSantis continued. “I don’t want to get some contributorship with one of these media outlets. I don’t care about any of that. We’re running to win and deliver.
