Florida lawmakers to clear path for DeSantis to run for president without resigning as governor
Fox News
The Florida Senate is expected to clear the way for Gov. Ron DeSantis to enter the 2024 GOP presidential primary without having to resign as governor.
"If there is ambiguity, and it’s been something that’s been talked about — especially ad nauseam since November if not longer — then let’s do it, let’s clarify it," Republican state Sen. Danny Burgess told Politico. "That way, should we be fortunate enough to have a president or vice president from Florida one day, we’ve cleared that air."

DeSantis is widely expected to enter the 2024 primary in the coming weeks, where he will face former President Trump and others. DeSantis is widely seen as the most credible challenger to Trump in the primary, though the former president maintains a significant lead in polls.
