Florida lawmakers created an exemption to the state’s “resign-to-run” law that would allow the current Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024 without resigning from his position.
Under Florida’s “resign-to-run” law, DeSantis would have been forced to resign as governor if he chose to make a presidential run, but under the new law will be exempt if he chooses to announce a 2024 campaign.
The exemption passed Florida’s Senate with a 28-12 vote, and the state House by a 76-34 margin.
From Breitbart:
This means that DeSantis, who was reelected to a four-year term in 2022, would not have to resign until his inauguration in 2025 if he makes a successful bid for the White House. Ron DeSantis is widely expected to officially enter the Republican presidential primary next month at the end of Florida’s legislative session.
