The Rise of Ron DeSantis: From Florida Governor to Presidential Candidate

Casey DeSantis, the wife of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has been a behind-the-scenes force in his rise to power. She is a former TV news journalist, breast cancer survivor, and mom of three. Her charm, political involvement, and alleged "vindictiveness" have made her both a "secret weapon" and "his biggest liability." Casey has been compared to Jackie Kennedy Onassis for her glamour and poise. She advises her husband on everything from media appearances to policy. Casey and Ron DeSantis have three children together. Casey has been criticized for being "paranoid" and "vindictive." She was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2021 and has since dedicated herself to raising cancer awareness.
