Gov. Ron DeSantis was flying high with a presidential hopes. But this week's special session has revealed fissures between him and a previously pliant Legislature.

Special legislative sessions in Florida can cost $50,000 a day. But columnist Scott Maxwell says a bigger problem is the hasty way politicians rush to pass bills that nobody has even fully vetted.

One day after Florida lawmakers passed a new immigration act, a crowd gathered near Lake Eola in downtown Orlando to show support for immigrants' rights.

The veto pledge capped a dramatic few days in which Republican legislators publicly criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis and portrayed themselves as truer allies of President Trump.

The Florida Legislature is currently in the midst of a special session focused on immigration, with Governor Ron DeSantis expressing dissatisfaction over the dismissal of his proposal.

DeSantis said his office was not involved in discussions about the bill that passed Tuesday, which he called “weak, weak, weak.”

Voters' ability to advance future changes opposed or disregarded by state lawmakers could soon be eliminated — if Gov. Ron DeSantis gets his way.

They think if they put Trump's name on it, that somehow that's going to pull the wool over people's eyes,' DeSantis said over bill.

The Florida Legislature is meeting in special session this week — but only on the issue of illegal immigration. In doing so, legislative leaders are openly defying Gov. Ron DeSantis’ attempts to bend lawmakers to his will – and his ability to control the discussion.

The case drew attention amid a nationwide focus on the apprehension and deportation of undocumented immigrants.

Monday’s battle over the immigration issues was a stark departure from the GOP’s unity that’s been the hallmark of DeSantis’ relationship with the Legislature over the past six years
