Ron DeSantis is up against one very hard fact in Florida. The “Resign to run” law REQUIRES he resign from the office of Governor before he can legally announce for ANY other office, and frankly, Florida still needs his hand on the wheel.
The Florida legislature COULD change that law, of course, with a near supermajority in both houses, but is that a wise idea? The current term of Governor ends in January 2027, and DeSantis is termed out anyway at that time, but still plenty of time to get into the 2028 primary season. Sitting on this wave until then is the single most important reason that Ron DeSantis should not be wasting his opportunities for the very short-term “benefit” of denying Trump a third run for office in 2024.
I believe they are in the process of changing that.
It’s a stupid law...Of course it should be changed. Should never have been there in the first place.
