DeSantis' relation to gay rights met with Disney's opposition. The conflict with the amusement giant ended with an unwritten regulation in force since the 1960s. So far, the state government has not interfered in Disney matters, and in return they have received tremendous taxation revenues, many jobs for the Florida residents, and millions of tourists visiting the Orlando amusement park. Bob Chapek, the erstwhile CEO of the company, openly criticized DeSantis. In the rematch, the politician threatened to apply administrative solutions that could harm the company's interests. He established a council consisting of conservative church representatives as well as people associated with him. The board's occupation is to review Disney's investment. The company sued state power, and the decision was interpreted by violating the right to free speech and articulate its own opinion.

DeSantis vs Trump

At 1 time, Ron DeSantis was repeatedly praised by Donald Trump. The erstwhile president of the United States of America expressed his support for his authoritative candidacy during a run that assured DeSantis of being politician in 2018. He appreciated its impact on both Florida's economical recovery and the solutions utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The erstwhile president initiated a wave of critical remarks, threatening his rival to exposure his compromising materials.

DeSantis' submission to the national Electoral Commission launched his authoritative efforts for the United States presidential seat. On May 24, he announced his decision to the public. The presidential primaries in the Republican organization appear to be highly interesting. There is likely to be a sharp run in which politicians will frequently be compared. In the eyes of voters about the conservative beliefs, DeSantis is seen as embodiment of the conflict against the advocates of the leftist thought of the functioning of the United States. The another side frequently accuses the politician of preferring authoritarian management style. So far in Florida, support for democrats or Republicans has been subject to systematic fluctuations. DeSantis' actions contributed to state metamorphosis in the Conservative bastion (Marco Rubio won re-elections for Senator's position, and the Republican organization now dominates state legislature). In addition, through his Miami win, he interrupted the long-standing dominance of democrats, who mostly enjoyed greater popularity among the inhabitants of the largest metropolis of the region. Conducting effective politics as politician may not aid DeSantis in the primary. According to polls, Trump is more popular among Republicans. besides in comparison with Joe Biden, there is simply a predominance of controversial politics. In the Washington Post-ABC News Trump poll wins 49%, with 42% support for the incumbent president.
