Ron DeSantis's big week comes as 2024 speculation reaches fever pitch
Washington Examiner ^ | March 06, 2023 12:41 PM | Ryan King, Breaking News Reporter

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. DeSantis has said he is going to have the most productive and successful legislative session yet," Javier Manjarres, a political consultant and publisher of the Floridian, told the Washington Examiner.

"Constitution Carry will pass," he added. "The Governor is focused on Education reform and appears to be poised to extend Parental Rights in Education to K-8, and protect children from being mutilated during sex reassignment procedures."

The governor's State of the State speech will be the first of his second term after he locked down a nearly 20-percentage-point victory in the 2022 midterm elections. The speech is expected to broach national issues as well as the various state items he is pursuing — similar to his inauguration address.

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.

The legislative session will likely serve as a prelude to DeSantis's possible 2024 campaign. DeSantis previously indicated that after the legislature wraps up, which it is set to do around May, he can decide on 2024.

"We have supermajorities in the legislature. I think people look at Florida and then say, 'Man, this governor's gotten a lot done.' We have, and we're proud of it, but you ain't seen nothing yet. This is going to be the most productive legislative session we have had across the board," DeSantis teased last month.

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"

I like my governor RDS so much, I want him to stay Florida governor for his full term. That is why I voted for him, to serve his full term. Don’t be like that governor of Alaska who quit in middle of her term.

I got my first Ron DeSantis financial support email today from the “Friends of Ron DeSantis.” I don’t live in Florida and never gave to him.

He’s not running for a national office. Why me?

DeSantis is behind by 20-40 points to PDJT in EVERY POLL out there. If that is winning, I want no part of it.

Yup. why give the Dems ammo? If DeSantis ran, the media would instantly blurt out “He gave up on Florida! Don’t let him give up on you!”

I think that it’s very obvious that he is going to run. I will be looking at him as a possibility. However, there is still time for others to get in as well. There’s no need to settle on anybody before midnight tomorrow. I will be looking to see who best coincides with my views. I am first and foremost a social conservative; but I’m also a fiscal conservative and a second amendment conservative. I will take some time and look over all of the candidates before making a final decision.
