“For all women who are currently suffering from breast cancer, you can overcome this. I know it is very difficult, but my wife is positive, “said the governor.
“She still has a long way to go, but I am convinced she will recover completely,” he continued.
In recent months, Casey, a former television presenter who plays a prominent role in her husband’s administration, has visited children’s hospitals and cancer centers to discuss the importance of early screening and strengthening the spirits of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

“You all had thoughts and prayers that were given to my family and my wife, I just wanted to tell you that thank you for lifting her spirits, for making a huge difference,” DeSantis said.
The 43-year-old governor is considered the Republican Party’s leading contender for the presidential nomination. He declined to say whether he would step down if Donald Trump ran again, sparking friction in their former Air Force alliance.

Most recently, DeSantis garnered headlines, saying this week that he had rejected a request by President Biden to send troops to the Florida National Guard in Washington, D.C., for additional protection during the state of the Union.
He later said he postponed Biden’s address on Tuesday and made a group of students wear masks.
“You don’t have to wear these masks. I mean, please take them off, “DeSantis said during a speech at the University of South Florida. “Honestly, it’s not doing anything and we have to stop with this COVID theater.”
