Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis went to war Wednesday night over DeSantis' track record on energy policies and his support for an offshore oil and gas drilling ban.
2024 GOP candidates Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis spar over Florida's handling of fracking.
"You banned fracking, you banned offshore drilling — you did it on federal lands and you took green subsidies that you didn't have to take," she continued. "I just did a plan out in West Texas for American energy dominance," he responded to Haley. "We're going to choose Midland over Moscow, we're going to choose the Marcellus over the mullahs, and we're going to choose Bakken over Beijing. And we are going to lower your gas prices. We are going to get that job done because it's important for our national security, it's important for jobs, and that's one of the best ways to drive down inflation.
Following DeSantis' response, the Haley campaign issued a press release stating that he changed his opinion on drilling after being elected governor of Florida.
