Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared Tuesday that an amendment that would have created a constitutional right to abortion and another that would have legalized marijuana failed.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claimed victory on Tuesday evening over the defeat of two amendments that would have, respectively, created a constitutional right to abortion and legalized recreational marijuana. 'With polls now closed in Florida — Amendment 3 has failed. Amendment 4 has failed,' DeSantis posted to X shortly after polls closed in Florida. The two amendments are projected to fail, as they did not reach approval from 60% of Florida voters after polls closed at 7 p.m.
'The law that safeguards more than 50,000 lives annually will remain. Florida is a beacon to the places in this country which still allow abortion after the point a baby can feel pain and the model for how the pro-life movement will win future ballot measure fights.
