Ron DeSantis

A reporter has been terminated from Axios after describing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' (R) recent event as "propaganda."

According to The Washington Post, Ben Montgomery issued a response to an email where he was asked about DeSantis' recent roundtable discussion "exposing the diversity equity and inclusion scam in higher education."

A contentious six-week abortion ban in Florida made it through its first committee hearing early on Thursday, in a party-line vote of 13-5, which came after about more than 150 testimonies from people who traveled to the Capitol. The meeting ended with heartache.

Abortion rights advocates, medical personnel and other citizens stepped in and out of the committee room in a revolving door of emotion, consoling one another.

A new analysis by the Washington Post has found that Republican presidential candidates, led by former President Donald Trump, are employing "dark" and "apocalyptic" rhetoric about the state of the nation heading into the 2024 campaign.

Among other things, the report cites statements by former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who claimed that "Joe Biden and the Democrats are destroying our people’s patriotism and swapping it out for dangerous self-loathing."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hasn't officially entered the Republican presidential primary yet, but some of his supporters are taking steps to work around his lacking social skills.

Multiple sources told The Daily Beast the Florida governor struggles with basic social skills, and his allies are working in early primary states to structure events to prevent unexpected interactions between the public and a candidate who is off-putting at best and rude at worst.

The New York Times has reviewed some proposed changes that publisher Studies Weekly made to its course materials and found that it erased references to racism in its books telling the story of Rosa Parks.

According to the Times, the publisher made the changes in "an attempt to cater to Florida," which has adopted stricter guidelines on so-called "woke" textbooks under the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis.

A civil war over US military aid to Ukraine has erupted among Republicans, pitting foreign policy "hawks" against the isolationist right and setting the stage for the most consequential debate so far in the 2024 presidential election.

The fight over how much help to give the US ally in repelling Russia's invasion has intensified since presumed White House hopeful Ron DeSantis echoed a Kremlin talking point by likening the conflict to a "territorial dispute."

A pro-Trump super PAC, MAGA Inc., has filed a state ethics complaint against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, claiming that the governor, who is making preparations for a 2024 run for president, is in violation of the state's "resign-to-run" law by not stepping down from his current office.

In reality, DeSantis has not formally declared anything yet, and many state lawmakers have argued Florida's law doesn't apply in this case because DeSantis is not simultaneously seeking re-election to his current office.

Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman told MSNBC on Wednesday that what Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said about Russia's invasion of Ukraine hasn't gone over well among Republicans on Capitol Hill.

DeSantis, who is assumed to be readying to announce his run for president in 2024, dipped his toe into foreign policy only to have it bitten off by retired generals and other military experts along with Capitol Hill Republicans.

DeSantis, who represented Florida’s 6^th congressional district from 2013 to 2018, is described as an ambitious but ineffective "backbencher" who mostly kept to himself and had "no friends" in interviews with more than a dozen former GOP House colleagues.

Although DeSantis is given high marks for his executive leadership in Florida, his experience in Washington was largely forgettable, according to the report.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president in 2024, although he hasn't formally announced a campaign yet.

The Texas Republican had been a Trump ally but has drawn the former president's ire since voting to certify the 2020 election results, and he's the first member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus to back DeSantis, who co-founded the caucus during his five-year tenure in Congress, reported National Review.

Former President Donald Trump's false and thoroughly debunked claims of widespread voter fraud did not start with the 2020 presidential election. After winning the electoral vote but losing the popular vote in 2016, Trump falsely claimed — with zero evidence — that "millions of people" had illegally voted for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Trump, on November 27, 2016, tweeted, "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." And Trump has claimed that during the 2018 midterms, he sent FBI agents to Florida to prevent "ballot theft" in Broward County. Doing so, Trump claimed, saved Republican now-Gov. Ron DeSantis from losing to Democratic gubernatorial nominee Andrew Gillum.

Boris Johnson, the Conservative former prime minister of the United Kingdom, met recently with Republicans to shore up their support for Ukraine in its war against Russia.

However, reports Politico, Johnson was struck by how wary many Republicans were of getting on the wrong side of Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who once openly said he's rooting for Russia to win.
