Disney and DeSantis Clash Over Special Taxing District Control

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is taking on Disney and Anheuser-Busch InBev over their "woke" corporate sensibilities and criticism of state policies, testing whether changes in Republican politics and in boardrooms have rewritten the rules for anti-corporate campaigns. However, taking on corporations like Disney remains a tricky business, as past boycotts have had little impact on their policies or revenues. While a Harvard-Harris poll found a majority of registered voters nationwide siding with DeSantis, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found less than half of Republicans had a more favorable view of the governor because of his fight with Disney.
