Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' State of the State speech is likely to be more about making a case to lead the country rather than an assessment of Florida’s future

The Republican-dominated Legislature, eager to promote DeSantis’ political prospects, is expected to sign off on virtually all of the governor’s agenda, which is packed with issues ranging from race to immigration to gender that could prove popular in a GOP presidential primary. DeSantis acknowledges that his decisions as governor are based on what he thinks is right and not necessarily what's popular in the mainstream. He said that's why he was able to turn a 32,000-vote, recount-confirmed victory in 2018 into a 1.5 million vote victory last year — the largest margin a Republican governor has ever won in the state.
When he shuns mainstream media in favor of friendly conservative outlets, the more mainstream media covers him. And he has the luxury of not having to make a presidential run “official” at this point. “You don’t see the flag of Florida standing behind him anymore. They’re all American flags," said Democratic state Sen. Jason Pizzo.
“These liberal states have gotten it wrong,” DeSantis said. “It all goes back to ideology. I think it goes back to the woke mind virus that's infected the left and all these other institutions.”
