Florida has a "Resign to Run" law on the books which means that DeSantis would have to resign his position as governor to run for president. The law has been lifted and reinstated several times, most recently in 2018 (where it was conveniently amended to include federal offices. Previously, the law only targeted state offices). Republican leaders in Florida's GOP-dominated Legislature have expressed interest in changing or rescinding the law, a move DeSantis will support.
Florida's legislature doesn't meet until March and then typically wraps up the legislative season in May.
Look for a change to this law later this spring after which point, DeSantis is widely expected to toss his hat into the ring.
Until then, all he can really do is "look like" a man who is planning on running without officially doing so (the main reason why DeSantis has warned people against donated to "Ron for President" organizations. There aren't currently any legitimate ones).
“ Until then, all he can really do is “look like” a man who is planning on running without officially doing so”
Which likely puts him in the position of taking shade from those who are running.
1) desantis was born and raised in florida...
2) desantis has 3 young children...
3) desantis’s wife recently battled cancer...
he’s not leaving the sunshine state and moving his family to the harsh miserable climate of washington dc anytime soon...
his warning about not donating any money to any organization that claims he’s running for president in 2024 is directed at people like you...
So poor Ron is forbidden by law to say if he’s running for President...
lol
