But Republicans, especially Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a likely candidate for the GOP\u2019s 2024 presidential candidate, have targeted Disney in recent weeks after the entertainment giant spoke out against the state\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d law.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>DeSantis said Disney \u201ccrossed the line\u201d by publicly criticizing the GOP-backed law. The governor led an effort to revoke special tax privileges that essentially allowed Disney to self-govern its theme park district in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, DeSantis said that Florida would retake control of Disney\u2019s autonomous district.<\/p>\n<p>In his defense of Democrat-backed economic policies, Buttigieg asserted that President Biden\u2019s \u201cAmerican Rescue Plan\u201d helped the US economy avert a \u201cvery real risk of recession, if not depression\u201d during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has faced sharp criticism in recent weeks over his failure to address inflation. Consumers prices have surged to four-decade highs in the months since he took office as supply chain bottlenecks and the Russia-Ukraine war roil the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>Gas prices are a source of particular pain for American households, with prices jumping to record highs in recent days.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/mickey-42.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Mickey Mouse\" class=\"wp-image-22546027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/mickey-42.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/mickey-42.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/mickey-42.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Florida Gov.
