Ron DeSantis is on a path to 2024. Democrats hope to head him off. By: CNN
By Dan Merica, CNN (CNN) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a clear pathway to running for president in 2024, emerging from the coronavirus pandemic as the most recognizable Republican governor in the country.
But Democrats, hoping to reverse years of letdown in marquee races and mismanagement inside the state party, are eager to stop the Republican governor before he even gets to the starting line of a presidential bid, viewing the 2022 gubernatorial election in Florida as a chance to cut short the governor s surge. It is always easier to stop someone s rise sooner rather than later, said David Turner, spokesman for the Democratic Governors Association. You don t lose your race for governor and then run for president.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Thursday that he and other Republicans say will lead to more secure elections, Jacksonville Democrats and a potential opponent in the upcoming governor’s race blasted the new laws, saying they amount to voter suppression.
This new law restricts when ballot drop boxes can be used, and who can collect ballots and how many. It mandates that drop boxes must be guarded and available only when elections offices and early voting sites are open. To protect against “ballot harvesting,” an electoral good Samaritan can only collect and return the ballots of immediate family and no more than two from unrelated people.
