Bad Timing – Florida Senate Schedules “Resign to Run” Legislative Change to Support DeSantis 2024 Announcement


Timing is everything, and the timing here is simultaneously transparent and inappropriate.

Yesterday the Florida Senate scheduled a change via committee vote of the “Resign to Run” law for next Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at 2:00pm.   The intent of the change is almost certainly to permit Governor Ron DeSantis to formally announce his 2024 candidacy without having to resign his job as governor.

Irony: Florida law change scheduled yesterday, same date as Trump indictment announced. Florida law change committee vote scheduled Tuesday 4/4/23, same date as Trump traveling to Manhattan for his arraignment.
