During his 'Conversation with the Candidate' event, a voter asked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis what he means when he references "woke." DeSantis called "woke" a "form of cultural Marxism." He said he thinks it is being used to effectively displace the truth in favor of ideology. “I think it’s important that we fight against it because our society does need to be rooted in truth," he added.

Conversation with the Candidate is a town hall-style program recorded in advance of when it airs. It is intended to allow the candidate to convey their points of view on a wide range of topics. During the program, the moderator may challenge the candidates' assertions, but every fact may not be checked in real time. WMUR News 9 is committed to holding the candidates accountable on their claims throughout the election cycle.
