There is no such law? I admittedly am having a difficult time in distinguishing Ron Desantis from Joe Biden? Or maybe Florida law does not apply to Saint Desantis?

No you need to learn how to read what the statute actually states and not depend on the spin by those filing suit.

From Florida Division of Elections,
“Governing law: An elected or appointed “officer” may not qualify as a candidate for another state, district, county or municipal public office if the terms or any part of the terms would overlap with each other if the person were to be
elected or appointed and did not resign from the office the person presently holds.”

It does not require DeSantis to resign before running for president. It prohibits him being a qualified candidate for more than one office IF those offices would be served concurrently. He can campaign for president or another office while governor. He can’t serve as both, which should be obvious.

It is all moot though because there is an exception for candidates for federal office.
