Florida lawmakers passed an election reform bill on Friday that would allow Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024 without resigning from the governorship.had been anticipated in the state Capitol, which is controlled by Republican supermajorities in both chambers.
The legislation approved on Friday exempts “any person seeking the office of President or Vice President of the United States” from “Resign to Run.”Backers of the change argue that it is not specifically aimed at DeSantis, who has not yet announced his 2024 presidential intentions but is widely expected to launch his White House campaign sometime after Florida’s legislative session ends on May 5.

Shevrin Jones said Thursday. “You’re not doing this because it’s the right thing to do. You’re doing it because you can.”
