Florida has swung to the Republicans during Ron DeSantis’s four years as governor
Florida’s governor is building an army of loyal supporters ahead of the 2024 Presidential election campaign.
“You could tell meeting Ron even early in his congressional career that he has been planning to move up the political ranks”, says Matthew Tyrmand, a conservative reporter who has known Mr DeSantis for nearly a decade.
“He is now the most successful governor, not just in the country, but probably in the modern age.”
