The ongoing tussle between DeSantis, who has yet to announce a presidential bid, and one of Florida's largest employers began in March 2022 when Disney's then-Chief Executive Bob Chapek spoke out against a bill limiting discussion of sexuality and gender identity in Florida elementary school classrooms.
