DeSantis poised to sign law that would allow him to run for president without resigning as governor

On Friday, the Florida House passed a bill that now heads to Governor Ron DeSantis’ desk allowing the leader to run for president without having to resign from his current post.

The bill passed in the House 76-34, according to Florida’s Voice. The passing comes just days after the bill passed 28 to 12 in the state Senate

The bill includes a change to existing laws which would now exempt officeholders seeking to run for president or vice president from the state’s "resign-to-run" provision.
