The first of July marked the day new laws, passed by Florida’s legislature and signed by the governor, took effect. The majority of new legislation is a carryover from last year when Gov. Ron DeSantis unofficially started his presidential campaign by waging war with “woke” ideology.
It’s a campaign that might already be one for the record books, as it took less than two months after the official start to his presidential race in late May for the the governor to announce firing roughly 10 campaign staffers. And while DeSantis may blame others for his plummeting poll numbers – especially in Florida where he trails former President Donald Trump by a large amount – maybe he should just take a look at this year’s legislative session.
