5 Takeaways From Ron DeSantis’s New Book

DeSantis boasts of his use of executive power.

Both critics and courts have rebuked the governor for executive overreach.

But DeSantis is unbowed. He writes proudly about promising to “overrule any mayor” that did not want to host Ultimate Fighting Championship events during the pandemic. The book touts his removal of the elected prosecutor in Tampa, a Democrat.

And he calls state budget vetoes a “source of leverage” against G.O.P. lawmakers who do not want to face primaries.
