The politics of Florida's raging COVID-19 outbreak under the bankrupt stewardship of GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis are proving to be particularly challenging for Senate Republicans.
Not only has DeSantis become the poster boy for dooming his constituents in service of political gain, but the southern swing state is also home to a dissonant mix of political interests as next year's midterms approach.
DeSantis, who is up for reelection next year, is 100% priming himself for a 2024 presidential bid—thus his insistence on sacrificing Florida lives at the altar of so-called "personal freedom." As ICUs fill up and the hospitalizations of children spike, DeSantis is literally telling his constituents to "just deal" with the soaring infection rates.
DeSantis’ sadistic 2024 calculation: the crueler, the better. But that's a real problem for Senate Republicans seeking control of the upper chamber and, in particular, the state's two GOP senators. Take Sen. Marco Rubio, for example, whose fate next year is almost surely tied to DeSantis at this point. Asked this week about the GOP governor's crackdown on in-school mask mandates, Rubio squirmed.
