Florida lawmakers pave way for DeSantis presidential run without resignation.

TL;DR Summary
Florida lawmakers are expected to add a provision to an existing elections bill that would allow Governor Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024 without needing to resign as governor. While there is debate over whether Florida law requires a governor to resign in order to run for president, lawmakers want to remove any ambiguity. DeSantis is widely expected to enter the 2024 primary, where he will face former President Trump and others. If enacted, the change would be a blow to Trump's campaign, which has previously criticized DeSantis and suggested that even his current travels constitute campaigning.
