DeSantis and Trump Clash on Abortion and Guns

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is positioning himself to the right of former President Donald Trump on issues such as abortion, guns, and immigration as he prepares for a potential presidential run. DeSantis has championed new laws that make it difficult to get an abortion, easy to carry a gun in public, and unwelcoming to undocumented migrants. He has also prevented doctors from facing punishment for taking positions against the COVID-19 vaccine. DeSantis' move to outflank Trump comes as the former president is fighting to maintain his grasp on conservative voters and broaden his appeal to voters outside of his base.
