President Donald Trump has taken the lead in the Sunshine State, eclipsing the popularity of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) in a new poll conducted by Emerson College. Per their survey, Trump leads DeSantis with 47 percent of the vote among Florida GOP voters compared to the governor’s 44 percent in a hypothetical 2024 presidential GOP primary race.The outpouring of Floridian support is a surprising twist, given the fact that DeSantis won his reelection bid in Florida in November 2022 with a staggering 20-point victory over his opponent, former Republican-turned-Democrat, Charlie Crist.In that same poll, GOP voters indicated that they...

A new video from the Trump War Room shows how Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is following in the footsteps of failed neocon losers like John McCain and Mitt Romney. A recent talking point used by DeSantis, comparing the country of Russia to a “gas station” for some bizarre reason, was taken directly from the mouth of McCain, who used the line as he pushed for Western intervention in the country that has eventually led to this terrible war costing thousands of lives and billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars.

The bill would impose the first-ever public records exemption for the transportation records held by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the agency that handles the governor’s security. The exemption would take effect retroactively, prohibiting anyone from scrutinizing how DeSantis has used his state travel in the past and as he prepares for a likely campaign for the Republican nomination...

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis ripped President Biden Wednesday, accusing the White House of trying to implement a “biomedical security state” and warning that “I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID” until the administration’s border policy changes. DeSantis was scheduled to deliver remarks on Florida’s economy at an event in Panama City, but instead unleashed a four-and-a-half-minute diatribe against the president, accusing him of trying to “single out” Florida over its rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. “This is a guy who ran for president saying he was gonna ‘shut down the virus’. And what has he done?”...
