TL;DR Summary
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis quickly shut down a move by some Florida Republicans to use taxpayer money to pay for former President Donald Trump's legal battles, threatening to veto the legislation. This move came just a day after DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump, prompting some to question where this assertiveness was during his campaign.
