Yeah. Did he win?
Between that and being outflanked by Disney some of the bloom is off the rose.

You’re off by a week.

but then, from the way many of them lie and attack Trump,they're all probably giddy that the left is going to help the deeps swamp take Trump out, so Jeb2.0 has a chance of being the republican presidential candidate.
Waste of time now.
Trump popularity elevated to level making everyone non players...
Didn’t fight ole Viagra Bob.
Maybe Trump should have donated a bunch of money to the repubs when he was getting ready to run for president.
99.012 Restrictions on individuals qualifying for public office.
Does this mean that the governor of Florida doesn't have to resign to run for another office; he only has to resign if he wins the other office?
- (4)(a) Any officer who qualifies for federal public office must resign from the office he or she presently holds if the terms, or any part thereof, run concurrently with each other.
- (b) The resignation is irrevocable.
- (c) The resignation must be submitted at least 10 days before the first day of qualifying for the office he or she intends to seek.
- (d) The written resignation must be effective no later than the earlier of the following dates:
- 1. The date the officer would take office, if elected; or
- 2. The date the officer’s successor is required to take office.
What does it mean to "qualify for public office?" Does he have to be nominated or does he have to win?
A reading of the other sections in chapter 99 of Title IX of Florida law differentiates between "qualifying for the general election" and "qualifying for a primary election." By their consistent use of the words, a candidate isn't "qualified" for federal office until they are nominated, meaning until they won the primary election. That would suggest that DeSantis wouldn't have to submit a resignation just to run in the primaries; he would only have to submit a resignation if he wins the primary and runs in the general election.
If DeSantis loses the general election, this mean that he can still be governor until January 20, 2024 because even though the resignation is irrevocable, it doesn't take effect until the date he would have assumed office if he won.

Nice way to twist things - if one is running for the nomination, one intends to run for the Presidency - and he promised to fulfill his term - using this as an out would ruin his chances because it would make him an egotistic opportunist politician.
The FL legislature vote and PTrump’s travel to. Sodom on the Hudson won’t be.
I was just asking for clarification. Someone else told me this was how it is there. I was trying to see if this is the truth or not.
Maybe post #30 has a reason. I’m just looking for clarification.
Timing is everything, and the timing here is simultaneously transparent and inappropriate.
Today the Florida Senate scheduled a change via committee vote of the “Resign to Run”
law for next Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at 2:00pm. The intent of the change is almost certainly
to permit Governor Ron DeSantis to formally announce his 2024 candidacy without having
to resign his job as governor.

Irony: Florida law change scheduled today, same date as Trump indictment announced.
Florida law change committee vote scheduled Tuesday 4/4/23, same date as Trump traveling
to Manhattan for his arraignment.
Nothing interesting about it, same old crap BS from the establishment.
Rules are just a suggestion any more because they keep changing.
These are election laws. How are they bad timing? Lol. It’s literally perfect timing.
