Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) revealed a plan to create President Trump’s future presidential library. The proposal, to be detailed in an upcoming meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, will discuss using a 2.63-acre parcel in Miami-Dade County for the library.
“President Trump has achieved results for the American people and made a lasting impact on our nation’s history,” DeSantis said in a statement. “No state has better delivered the President’s agenda than the Free State of Florida, and we would be honored to house his presidential library here in his home state.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier voiced his support for the proposal, announcing that he would be “voting yes” on the idea to dedicate land at Miami Dade College for the library.
“Surviving two assassination attempts, securing the border, and rebuilding our nation’s military are just a few stories this great library will tell,” Uthmeier wrote on X. “Thank you Gov. DeSantis and MDC President Madeline Pumariega for your leadership.”
“It’s been an honor to work on this project with the Trump Library Foundation!” he declared.
The Florida Senate approved a bill aimed at bringing President Donald Trump’s presidential library to the state earlier this year. Senate Bill 118, sponsored by Sen. Jason Brodeur of Sanford, would prevent local governments from imposing restrictions on presidential libraries in Florida.
Meanwhile, former President Joe Biden’s presidential library is facing major financial trouble, as Democrat donors have become hesitant to fund the endeavor. Funders have expressed doubts about the library’s viability, citing concerns such as Biden’s declining approval in his final year as president and questions surrounding his mental and physical condition during the 2024 election cycle.
