Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis played nice with Dems during the Surfside tragedy. But now he’s back to attacking his opponents.

TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ brief moment of unity with Democrats is over.

Many speculated that conservatives — including Trump — would berate DeSantis for working with Democrats and especially for not attending Trump’s rally while the governor was helping oversee the Surfside disaster.

DeSantis, formerly a congressman, won the governorship in no small part because of an early endorsement from Trump, and as he prepares for his reelection bid, he's embracing Trump-style politics even more tightly, especially as Florida leans more red. His bipartisanship with Democrats during the summer, however short, earned him accolades even from his opponents. But Democrats, who also held their fire, are returning to publicly rebuking the governor.

DeSantis’s pathway to governor in 2018 came amid his frequent appearances on Fox News, where he became one of Trump’s biggest defenders. But after DeSantis nearly lost his 2018 election to Democrat Andrew Gillum, he made attempts to shift to the middle by taken stances on medical marijuana, education and the environment that were a departure from his Republican predecessor, former Florida Gov. Rick Scott.
