A Republican Florida state senator filed an amendment on Tuesday that could eliminate one logistical hurdle for the state's governor, Ron DeSantis, should he decide to run for president in 2024.
By Aaron Navarrothat could eliminate one logistical hurdle for the state's governor, Ron DeSantis, should he decide to run for president in 2024.
Currently, under Florida law, a public official may not run for another office with a term of service that overlaps the official's current position without sending a resignation letter. His resignation would be irrevocable and take effect the day the president-elect is inaugurated in 2025, even if DeSantis were to lose in the primary or general election.
The state repealed the"resign-to-run" law in 2007, when then-Republican Governor Charlie Crist was on the short list to be 2008 GOP nominee John McCain's running mate. Former Republican Governor and Senator Rick Scott signed a law in 2018 that reactivated this requirement.
