'If [Ron] DeSantis runs in 2024, he’ll enter the race possibly more hated even than Trump—at least when it comes to liberals, and probably quite a few independents, too,' writes lizmair.
, focused on the culture war outrages of the day. DeSantis has proven deft at wading into these fights and pushing legislation squarely at the heart of them.: No matter whether these laws live or die in the courts, he can—at least short-term, and at least among his most hardened base—turn culture war legal losses into political wins., pushing a law that is almost certainly unconstitutional, and not compatible with the First Amendment.
. This bill is less obviously unconstitutional, but there are First Amendment and equal protection issues with it that could prove its undoing. On the one hand, this would appear to correct a major flaw with the social media bill that underlined its probable unconstitutionality. On the other, the fact that this comes after DeSantis and Disney got into a spat over the “instruction” law makes it plain that. This makes the latter of those two laws even less likely to pass constitutional muster when push comes to shove, and it also serves to remind people of the original cronyism problem.
If DeSantis and Republicans somehow prevail, and these laws are deemed constitutional by courts, DeSantis will be the culture war gladiator who delivered victories for his adoring crowd.This begs the question: Is anyone else potentially running for president in 2024 quite this crafty?If, however, courts nix the laws or force Florida back to the drawing board, the governor is more than capable of turning that to his advantage, too.
