DeSantis faces backlash from Disney CEO and gun control advocates.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' attempt to strip Disney of its self-governing status has backfired, as the entertainment giant outsmarted him with a legal deal that limits what the new board can do for decades, effectively retaining all the self-governing authority it had before. DeSantis' move was part of his "war on woke business," which he hopes will distinguish him as a Republican hero and leading contender for his party's 2024 presidential nomination. However, his poor judgment and weak execution in this fight reveal that he may not be ready for the big leagues of national politics.
