DeSantis

Sunshine State leader

DeSantis is the surname of Ron DeSantis, Republican governor of Florida since 2019 and presidential candidate in 2024.

The name often stands alone in political commentary: DeSantis signed the bill into law, the DeSantis administration.

His policies on education, immigration, and COVID restrictions made "DeSantis" shorthand for a combative brand of conservative governance.
