Who is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis?

Speculation is growing over whether Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is planning a presidential run in 2024, meaning more eyes are on the vocal Republican politician.

While he’s had his share of political victories and found support from fellow conservatives, he has also faced resistance and detractors from the other side of the aisle.

And now, DeSantis is drawing donations from some of the nation’s wealthiest Republicans — including over $3.4 million from former Trump supporters who never donated in Florida state elections before, according to Politico. In his reelection bid for governor, DeSantis has already raised a record-setting $100 million.

DeSantis is the 46th governor of Florida, a position he’s held since 2019. Before that, he was in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Florida’s 6th District. A native of Jacksonville, Florida, according to the National Governors Association, DeSantis went to Yale University and also graduated from Harvard Law School. DeSantis then went into the Navy and was deployed to Iraq in 2007. After active-duty service, he became a federal prosecutor until entering the political realm in 2012, when he was elected to Congress.
