Listen, this editor was pretty dispirited the other night when his timeline was nothing but Donald Trump supporters and Ron DeSantis supporters trying to sink each other. Meanwhile, the DNC is so committed to the Biden/Harris ticket (yes, he’s running again) that they’re not even going to hold primary debates. So much for seeing Gavin Newsom going toe-to-toe with Biden to see which one has ruined their state or country more.
Word is also out that Trump is saying “no” to debates, and Charles Garparino has a rumor which sounds pretty feasible to us, considering the attacks Team Trump has rolled out against DeSantis.
WESH reports:
Gov. Ron DeSantis seems to have his next run for office in mind, as Republican Senate leadership filed a bill Thursday to “revise laws relating to elections.”
GOP leadership will likely be attempting to rewrite the law as they did for former governors Scott and Crist to allow them to run for federal office while maintaining the flexibility to be governor.
Currently, F.S. Chapter 99 reads: (4)(a) Any officer who qualifies for federal public office must resign from the office he or she presently holds if the terms, or any part thereof, run concurrently with each other. (b) The resignation is irrevocable.
The law otherwise prohibits the governor from running for federal office without resigning his state office. WESH does not report, however, that Trump is headed to Tallahassee to lobby to keep the restriction in place — that’s where the rumor comes in.
He has expended zero effort on Republicans who’ve actually declared for 2024.
A lot of people are pointing out that the Resign-to-Run Law doesn’t apply in this situation.
So it’s just a rumor?
So it seems to be a rumor and nothing more … let’s see if any news outlets pick it up or if it just runs its course on Twitter.
