The spectacular collapse of the governor’s special legislation session this week has shaken his tongue from the pencisacola to the key. Did Ron Desantis lose juice? Is the parliament finally challenging the dictatorship? Does this mean the balance of power for Desantis’s last two years? The answer is Jesus, yes, yes. But there is another question here: Is that important?
The lawmaker was convened in Talahashi on Monday, and immediately replaced the governor’s agenda with his own agenda. It was not surprising. The House of Representatives and the Senate leaders were surprised by the surprise of the governor of the special session on immigration this month, and that Desantis is changing in a hurry to a better complex problem left for a normal session in March. I said.
The RE responsibility on Monday was an embarrassing flatfall of the Republican Governor by the parliament dominated by his party. The lawmakers promised to take the initiative from President Donald Trump instead. They also moved from Desantis to deprive the immigration execution and run for the governor in 2026. I gave it.
This is not the result of Desantis expected. As Randy Fine Senator Randy Fine explained this situation, he states that “Frail Guy has lost its relevance.” I can’t imagine many of them to agree with the fine, but he’s one of the few people who say what other Republicans think. And the right of the fines that Desantis has lost shaking because his political future has declined and uncertain.
But exaggerate what is happening here, and don’t make a mistake in its importance.
All the governor departs for new opportunities because the staff turns to the remnants of the political plate, and that their staff will move to a potential successor and new priority. Lost influence in the last year. Since Florida’s legislative district is very gerimander, there are few members of the Diet who are worried about losing their seats. This creates an additional space to break with the governor. And the period limit has slowed retaliation technology. The governor does not have much time to reach a member of the Diet. Power has a decline and flow in the lives of all selected officials. The weakening of Desantis may look particularly harsh or sweet, only because he is treating allies and enemies for many years.
But what does the governor achieve besides the resolution of the score? Desanthis wanted a member of the Diet to use special sessions to crack down on immigrants. The mission has been achieved, even if a member of the Diet rejected the Desantis credit using his own script. Republican members have long supported the strong boundary on immigrants. Desantis also wanted to deal with this special session by making Floridans forming a law by fixing the state constitution. This week’s conflict with the governor was not beyond the policy, but who had the power to determine the change, and thus who controlled the message with voters.

That’s how Talahasie has always worked. However, there are many sunlight among the core leaders, including healthcare, school vouchers, criminal justice, climate change, homosexual rights, mass transportation, or energy policy. It does not mean there. Republican members have integrated the ruling of the party to the Florida government and see their immediate future in Trump’s re -election, not the man of the governor’s mansion. If you think this is about policy split, you don’t have to find others, Jeanettenúñez, Deputy Governor of Desantis. Ten years ago, she supported the law to provide university tuition prices in university tuition to unwritten immigrants. On the weekend, Nuneses overturned her position. This is the only politics that was alleviated in the era after Desantis.
All named governors have relevant tools, whether they are veto or the authority to convene the legislator or the political committee to support the slate of the candidate. Aside from this week, Desantis has no trouble to pass his legal agenda in parliament with the same aspirations. Certainly, his potential successor is lined up to steal the oxygen of Talahas. It is not a political view, but a reorganization of people. Therefore, do not make a mistake in this late check and balance exhibition as a new direction of Florida. If it is, what is expected to be a crowded Republican preliminary election for the governor in 2026 may push the state to the right.
