TALLAHASSEE, Florida — As the nation’s eyes focused on Florida for former President Donald Trump’s arraignment Tuesday in Miami federal court, the state’s governor kept a low profile.
Gov. Ron DeSantis, a presidential candidate and rival to Trump for the GOP nomination, appeared to take a pause from a busy campaigning schedule for the day. He held no news conferences. He made a judicial appointment, which his office announced with a short news release before noon.
Early in the day, his campaign Twitter account posted a video of his wife and son at a rodeo, as well as posts sharing some policy platforms and touting an endorsement.
