DeSantis Vows Trump Pardon Amid Accusations of Selective Weaponization

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential 2024 presidential candidate, has reiterated his intention to pardon Donald Trump if elected, should the former president be convicted of current felony charges. DeSantis compared the potential pardon to Gerald Ford's pardon of Richard Nixon, suggesting it would help the country move on from division. Other Republican candidates, including Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy, have also expressed their positions on pardoning Trump, with Ramaswamy committing to it as a first act if elected.
