Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has faced backlash from Republican lawmakers over his top government staffers helping him raise campaign contributions. Legislation has been introduced that would prohibit state employees from conducting campaign activities during work hours, including soliciting donations. This comes after reports that DeSantis’ staffers were raising money for a political committee that could support his wife’s potential run for governor. The tension with Republican lawmakers has escalated, with investigations into a Medicaid settlement that allegedly funded a political action committee opposing a pro-marijuana amendment. DeSantis’ administration denies any wrongdoing, but the situation has sparked criticism from supporters of Rep. Byron Donalds, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump. The fight is seen as politically motivated with implications for the 2026 governor’s race. Laura Loomer, a far-right conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter, has been vocal in attacking both Ron and Casey DeSantis over the controversy. As DeSantis’ political machine faces scrutiny and challenges from lawmakers, the landscape of his administration and potential future political ambitions is rapidly changing.
