Ron DeSantis and the Complexities of Florida Governance
TL;DR
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has expanded his powers and pushed legal boundaries to enact his policies, using his detailed knowledge of the pliable confines of his office to his advantage. He has removed elected officials, prohibited local mask and vaccine mandates, and threatened political retribution against those who cross him. DeSantis is entering the 2024 Republican presidential primary race with a promise that he would make the country more conservative, just as he did Florida, using nearly every means necessary to muscle through his right-wing vision.
