New Law Passed in Florida Could Signal DeSantis is Finally Entering the 2024 GOP Primary

As the 2024 🗳️Republican Primary field begins to take shape, there are two names that have been dominating the conversation.

One is obviously former president Donald Trump, who has already cast his hat into the ring. The other is Florida Gov. 👤Ron Desantis, who has yet to announce his candidacy.

But there are several signs that DeSantis is about to announce his candidacy very soon.

For starters, over the past week, DeSantis has been traveling the globe, meeting with leaders of foreign governments with strong ties to the United States, such as Japan, Israel, and Great Britain.

Now, however, DeSantis has given perhaps the strongest sign yet that he is seriously considering a run for the White House.

According to the New York Post, Florida lawmakers on Friday passed changes to the state’s “Resign to Run” law, which requires Sunshine State elected officials seeking higher office to resign their positions if they make the ballot.

The change would exempt those running for the presidency or the vice presidency, meaning, if DeSantis became the nominee, he would not have to resign from the governorship and could return to it if he lost the election.
