, vetoed a number of projects on Thursday, including many in the Sarasota area—a move that was slammed by state Senator Joe Gruters who represents the district.

The Governor clearly sees politics differently."
Gruters, who served as the chairman of the Florida Republican Party up until last year, was an early supporter of Trump's 2016 campaign and publicly endorsed the former president for 2024 in April. Gruters, meanwhile, has remained one of Trump's closest political allies in Florida.
