Ron DeSantis is out of the Republican presidential race. But in Florida, his second term as governor has only just gotten started.

As DeSantis returns to Tallahassee, the state capital is ablaze with speculation — and anxiety — about how the governor will wield power in the remaining almost-three years of his term. How will he seek to rebuild his stature in Florida after washing out at the national level? Will he lay the groundwork to run for president again?

And, most of all: Will he take political retribution against Republicans who he sees as having betrayed him in the presidential race?

    I mean, he tried to torch Disney, and they’re the only reason 2/3 of the East Coast wants to go to Florida at all.

        Yeah we want to go out too CA pretty bad. Thing is, I can drive to Florida for a couple hundred bucks. No rentals, no flights, no TSA lines somewhat unlimited bags.

        I can do the entire vacation in Florida for the price of the transport to get to CA and back.:/

          Makes sense, it’s about the same either way here.

          I also would have to suggest, if you like camping, hitting up the Rockies. There’s some beautiful forests there. (I grew up in CA before moving to MN. My first experience with snow was up in the mountains… sledding hits different up there.)
