"DeSantis Blocks Florida Plan to Use Taxpayer Money for Trump's Legal Fees"

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is set to veto a proposal by Florida's chief financial officer, Jimmy Patronis, to create a "Freedom Fighters Fund" to help pay for Donald Trump's legal fees. The fund aimed to provide financial support to Florida residents running for President who face legal, partisan, political attacks. DeSantis's campaign account on X quickly made his position clear, indicating that he would not support the bill. This move reflects the delicate balance Florida Republicans are navigating in supporting Trump while also working with DeSantis, who remains a powerful executive in the state.
