In a special session on Monday, leaders seemed to be declaring their independence from a governor who has wielded so much power that legislative sessions have become largely predictable rubber stamps.

Ron DeSantis (R) said Wednesday he plans to veto a Republican-sponsored immigration bill that was passed by the Florida Legislature this week, marking the latest salvo in his feud with state GOP lawmakers.

Gov. Ron DeSantis is in a standoff with Florida's legislative leaders that has devolved into a test of his power and influence over the state. At issue: a slate of immigration reforms that lawmakers named after President Trump and approved in place of DeSantis' own proposals.
