DeSantis Takes Steps Toward 2024 Presidential Run Amid Speculation.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has severed ties with his state political committee, Friends of Ron DeSantis, ahead of an expected White House run. The move was necessary for DeSantis to declare a presidential campaign if he chooses to launch one. State Sen. Blaise Ingoglia has taken over serving as the committee’s chairman. DeSantis has not publicly announced that he’s considering a run, but separating himself from the state committee is one of multiple steps he has taken recently that may hint he is close to launching a bid.
