Florida Republicans seek to ease DeSantis' path to 2024 presidential bid.

A Republican Florida state senator has filed an amendment to an elections bill that could eliminate the "resign-to-run" law's requirement for public officials seeking the office of President or Vice President of the United States. The amendment would take effect on July 1 if passed. Governor Ron DeSantis, who is currently on an international business trade mission, has not yet announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.

Florida GOP clears path for DeSantis presidential run without resignation.

Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature is set to change state law to allow Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president in 2024 without resigning his current position if he becomes the GOP nominee. The move comes ahead of a potentially volatile Republican primary for president, where DeSantis will go up against former President Donald Trump. The change by GOP legislators is likely to spark sharp criticism from Trump allies who had already been critical of lawmakers for discussing it previously. Florida law currently requires anyone running for a new office to put in an irrevocable letter of resignation ahead of qualifying if the terms of the two offices overlap.
