DeSantis said his office was not involved in discussions about the bill that passed Tuesday, which he called “weak, weak, weak.”

Although I can’t message it to the masses the way [DeSantis] can, I feel very comfortable with the position of the Legislature,” the Miami lawmaker said.

The decision to fly flags at full-staff during Trump's inauguration diverges from President Joe Biden's order that flags remain at half-staff for 30 days to honor Carter, who passed away on December 29, 2024. DeSantis' move aligns with at least seven other Republican-led states who have ordered flags be flown at full-staff for Inauguration Day.

A push by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to crack down on ballot initiatives could have unforeseen consequences for the business interests of his state’s most prominent resident: President Donald Trump.

Floridians deserve leadership that addresses the real issues facing working families and seniors, not the parade of political stunts he seems intent on marching in.’

DeSantis claims Trump wants the strongest possible proposals, yet POTUS hasn't weighed in on the fight between Florida Republicans.

Florida lawmakers have passed a sweeping immigration bill, setting aside half a billion dollars in public funds to help carry out President Donald Trump’s crackdown on people in the country illegally.

Creating crimes for "aiding" undocumented immigrants, making university more expensive, forcing police departments to be trained by ICE are among Gov. Ron DeSantis' priorities, as outlined in draft legislation for this week's special legislative session obtained by WLRN.

The House and Senate started and quickly ended a special legislative session that DeSantis called and then immediately opened their own special session.

I spoke with the president today, and I told him I am working on this and we want to be helpful and he was basically, ‘I want as strong as possible, as strong as possible,’” DeSantis told supporters in the call.

In a special session on Monday, leaders seemed to be declaring their independence from a governor who has wielded so much power that legislative sessions have become largely predictable rubber stamps.
