Daily Beast: “Gov. Ron DeSantis and President Donald Trump have tightly wound their political fates together in Florida, a state that amounts to a must-win if the president hopes to serve another term in the White House.”
“But as the nation hurtles toward a contentious general election contest, Florida has emerged as a key national hot spot for the resurgent coronavirus pandemic. This even as the president is primed to try to use the state as a show of strength for his now relocated Republican National Convention nomination acceptance speech in August—a plan that is already causing anxiety among some locals.”
“And the rapid ascent of COVID-19 in the Sunshine State has proven precarious for DeSantis’ standing in Florida, raising the prospect that a reopening some residents and experts say has been rushed could mean trouble for the president come November.”
