DeSantis Faces Dual Crises: Tropical Storm and Shooting Aftermath

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis canceled his campaign travel to South Carolina to address crises at home, including the aftermath of a racist shooting in Jacksonville and preparations for Tropical Storm Idalia. DeSantis condemned the shooting and offered condolences to the victims' families, but faced criticism from the crowd at a vigil. DeSantis has faced controversy over his policies on race and race-related teaching, including banning critical race theory from Florida classrooms. He remains in second place behind former President Donald Trump in the Republican presidential nomination race.
