Fresh off his huddling with donors last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is teeing up a jammed-pack week as he seemingly lays down the groundwork for a 2024 bid.
DeSantis will deliver his hotly anticipated State of the State address to the Florida legislature, which is set to convene Tuesday, and start his mad dash to wrangle through a bevy of big-ticket items. Then, DeSantis will close off the week with a trip to the early primary state of Iowa to promote his new book."Gov.
Perhaps the most significant item of business DeSantis is pursuing is an adjustment to the state's"resign to run" law that would compel him to step down from office if he opts to embark on a presidential campaign. In the run-up to the legislative session, DeSantis has unveiled a litany of policy proposals, including a plan to counter"Biden's border crisis" by tightening state rules on immigration.
Last month, at DeSantis's behest, the Florida state legislature convened a special session to pass a law to usher in state control of the special taxing district created for the Walt Disney Company and expand a state program to move illegal immigrants to regions that are Democratic strongholds. However, given Iowa's perch as the leadoff state in the GOP nominating process, the visit has presidential undertones.
