Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is scheduled to hold a press conference at 2 p.m. today in West Palm Beach. Watch the press conference live below.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his $117 billion budget proposal on Wednesday morning. It calls for a spending increase of roughly two percent, or $2.6 billion, over the current state budget - the first time the total budget might increase year-over-year since 2022.
Florida's budget has grown by about 25% since DeSantis took office in 2019, not accounting for inflation. DeSantis' proposed budget will cover his final year in office and the start of his successor's first year. He is term-limited and will leave office upon the inauguration of the next governor in January 2027.
While we're still a year away from the state's gubernatorial election, many are wondering who could be our next governor. Will it be DeSantis again?
