Florida GOP Passes Bill to Conceal DeSantis' Travel Records from Public

Florida's GOP-led state Legislature has passed a bill to shield Governor Ron DeSantis' travel records from public disclosure ahead of his expected 2024 presidential bid. The bill shields public disclosure of DeSantis’ travel records "before, on, or after" the measure's effective date, citing safety and security concerns for the governor and law enforcement agents. The bill's passage comes after the GOP-controlled Legislature approved changes to state law that would clear the way for DeSantis to launch a 2024 presidential campaign despite the lack of a formal announcement.
