While several lawmakers and state leaders have kowtowed to the wishes of the progressive left, DeSantis has been pushing back against everything from coronavirus lockdowns to protecting women\u2019s opportunities in sports.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, DeSantis has been signing bill after bill, pushing Florida to lead the way. Further, when it came to the COVID-19 pandemic, DeSantis made sure lockdowns were only put in place when deemed absolutely necessary and put the state\u2019s most vulnerable first despite the CDC\u2019s advice.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also signed a bill ensuring female athletes have access to equal opportunities in high school and college. \u201cI can tell you this: In Florida, girls are going to play girls\u2019 sports and boys are going to play boys\u2019 sports. That\u2019s what we\u2019re doing and we\u2019re going to make sure sure that\u2019s the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Floridians and visitors have a right to feel safe in our state, and HB 1 creates a safer Florida for all. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EjSr5zfaVW\">pic.twitter.com\/EjSr5zfaVW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1384579775663120387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 20, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Florida Republican has remained strong in his support for law enforcement as leftists call for the defunding of police, garnering respect and building a strong relationship with those authorities in return. Grady Judd, Sheriff of Polk County, said \u201cnever have I seen the leadership that I see with Gov. DeSantis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis discussed Florida\u2019s response to the BLM and Antifa riots last summer, highlighting his state\u2019s work to back the Blue and allocate necessary funding to law enforcement. The governor also pointed to the state\u2019s decision to ban critical race theory in Florida\u2019s schools.<\/p>\n<p>Though DeSantis has already stated his intent to run for reelection as Florida\u2019s governor, he is being touted as a strong potential vice presidential pick should President Donald Trump run again in 2024.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/ga-ag-commissioner-gary-black-enters-the-race-to-take-on-sen-raphael-warnock-take-back-senate-majority\/\">Ga.
