"DeSantis and Disney Lawsuit: Election Timing and Feud Explained"

Attorneys for The Walt Disney Co. and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are proposing different timelines for a federal trial over Disney's claim of retaliation by DeSantis. Disney wants the trial to start on July 15, 2023, while DeSantis' attorneys want it postponed until after the 2024 presidential election. Disney sued DeSantis in April, alleging that he violated their First Amendment rights by attempting to strip the company of control over a special district. DeSantis and other defendants are seeking to delay the discovery process until motions to dismiss the case are ruled upon.
