Ron DeSantis is the 46th Governor of Florida, serving since January 2019. He was re-elected in November 2022 by approximately 19 percentage points — one of the most lopsided gubernatorial wins in Florida history. He ran for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, suspending his campaign after the Iowa caucus and endorsing Trump on January 21, 2024. He is term-limited and his second term ends January 2027. His tenure has been defined by Florida's COVID-19 policy approach, anti-DEI legislation, education curriculum reforms, and ongoing legal/political fights with Disney.
