DeSantis emerges victorious after whirlwind Florida legislative session.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is expected to announce his presidential campaign after the state's legislative session ends on Friday. The Republican-controlled Legislature has passed several bills on issues such as abortion, guns, and school vouchers, which could help DeSantis in a GOP primary but may reduce his appeal in a general election. The Legislature also passed measures that could help clear DeSantis' path to the White House, including a DeSantis-shaped exemption to the state's "Resign-to-Run" law and a measure that shields his travel records from public view. However, DeSantis is facing criticism from former President Donald Trump and is trailing in polls of the possible primary field.
