There's a new baby in the DeSantis family.

Governor Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey announced yesterday on Twitter that their new baby girl was born. Her name is Mamie.

We are in the midst of crazy times. While the Governor was in the delivery room for babies #1 and #2, he didn't want to have to use personal protection equipment for the birth of this baby. He knew that protective equipment is more important right now for hospital personnel, so he missed Mamie's arrival.

He said, “It’s surreal being in a hospital during this time. I did not go into the delivery room because I didn’t want to burn PPE. It was kind of a sad thing, but my wife and I both felt that was the right thing to do."

His wife Casey tweeted a photo of the baby and wrote: “Ron and I are beyond blessed to welcome our new baby girl, Mamie to the world. At 7 lbs 4 oz she was the smallest of the bunch, but she is already holding her own. Madison and Mason are so excited for their new baby sister!"
