Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken a major step in recent days toward his widely expected announcement in the coming weeks that he will launch a 2024 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>Severing Ties with Friends of Ron DeSantis<\/h3>\n<p>According to POLITICO, DeSantis severed his connection on Friday to his state political committee, Friends of Ron DeSantis, and the $86 million that it controls, a necessary step toward running for president.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis cannot use that money in a federal race because state law does not limit how much a person can give to the committee. However, that money can be shifted to a super PAC that backs DeSantis \u2014 like the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down, which raised over $30 million in just its first few weeks being in operation \u2014 if the governor is no longer affiliated with the committee.<\/p>\n<h3>Committee Update<\/h3>\n<p>The committee updated its site on Tuesday and now says that it is affiliated with state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia (R) and not DeSantis.
