Rubio backs DeSantis in Disney feud, with one caveat
Why Political Feuds with Businesses are a Lose-Lose Situation, According to Sen. Marco Rubio
Political feuds with businesses can be detrimental to both parties involved. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has cautioned against such feuds, citing the recent dispute between Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and the Walt Disney Company.
According to Rubio, “It’s problematic when political differences lead to threats of legislative action against businesses.”
The Disney-DeSantis Feud
- The feud between DeSantis and Disney began last year when the company opposed the DeSantis-backed Parental Rights in Education Act.
- Disney later pledged to work towards repealing the law.
- DeSantis responded by supporting the removal of Disney’s special tax district.
- Earlier this year, Florida took over the district after determining that revoking its special status could increase taxes for locals.
- It was later revealed that Disney had made a deal with the previous board that limited the power of the new board.
- The new board moved to void the agreement, leading to a lawsuit from Disney alleging that DeSantis and his allies weaponized government power against the company as “retaliation for expressing a political viewpoint.”

Despite criticism from potential 2024 rivals, including former President Donald Trump, former United Nations Ambassador and former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC), Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH), and former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), Governor DeSantis remains confident. Senator Rick Scott hopes that “cooler heads will prevail and Disney will say let’s go back to being in a company that gives us all great experiences.”
Senator Rubio supports Governor DeSantis’s efforts to remove Disney’s special tax status, but he believes that the fundamental issue is the company’s governmental powers. “It’s a legitimate concern,” he said.

Political feuds with businesses can be detrimental to both parties involved. It’s important to find a way to resolve differences without resorting to threats of legislative action. Senator Marco Rubio’s cautionary tale of the Disney-DeSantis feud serves as a reminder of the potential consequences of such disputes.
