BREAKING: DeSantis Prepares To Sign Bill Allowing Him Run For President While Remaining Governor
By Chris April 28, 2023Updated:April 28, 2023The Florida House passed a bill on Friday with a 76-34 vote that would permit the state leader to run for the presidency without stepping down from their current position.
The bill’s approval comes only a few days after it was passed in the state Senate by a vote of 28 to 12. The bill is now on its way to Governor Ron DeSantis’ desk for approval.
The timing of the bill’s approval and Governor DeSantis’ potential presidential announcement adds to the uniqueness of the situation.
“We in this body are doing the governor’s bidding,” Democrat Rep. Angela Nixon, said. “He needs to resign to run if he wants to run for president, period. Last time I checked, being governor is a full-time job. Running for president takes a lot of work.”
Republican Lawrence McClure stated, “Florida has been a model of election integrity and efficiency, but there’s always room for improvement. This bill seeks to continue Florida success in these areas by streamlining certain provisions of the Florida election code, while ensuring bad actors are held accountable.”
