GOP presidential hopefuls took Disney’s lawsuit filing as an opportunity to criticize Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who, despite not being in the race, consistently polls in the No. 2 spot behind former president Donald Trump.
DeSantis, who is expected to announce his 2024 candidacy in the coming weeks, over what it calls a “relentless campaign to weaponize government power.” The lawsuit marks an escalation of a year-long clash over Disney’s criticism of a controversial education law championed by DeSantis.
A DeSantis spokeswoman called Disney’s lawsuit “another unfortunate example of their hope to undermine the will of the Florida voters” and circumvent state law. “We are unaware of any legal right that a company has to operate its own government or maintain special privileges not held by other businesses in the state,” said Taryn Fenske, communications director for the governor’s office.
“Businesses were my partners,” she said. “Because if you take care of your businesses, you take care of your economy. Your economy takes care of the people and everyone wins.”We’ve got great weather, great people, and it’s always a great day in South Carolina!

Florida GOP set to remove hurdle to DeSantis White House bidFlorida Republicans are poised to change state law to allow GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis to run for president without having to leave office. The proposal filed on Tuesday would exempt presidential candidates from Florida’s so-called resign to run law, which prohibits elected officials from qualifying as a candidate for another office that would overlap with their current term. The legislative move was expected but its formal introduction marks one of the clearest signals yet that DeSantis plans to run. The governor is currently overseas as part of an international trade mission to Japan, South Korea, Israel and the United Kingdom.
