KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis prepared for his rally Sunday in Olathe, Kansas, to support the Republican candidate for Kansas governor, about 50 protesters gathered outside, chanting “DeSantis get out of Kansas” and holding signs reading, “Take your hate back to Florida” and “Protect trans students.”
DeSantis, on a nationwide tour, stopped in Johnson County to campaign for Attorney General Derek Schmidt, the GOP nominee for governor, at a rally at the Embassy Suites.
Outside, some protesters brought campaign signs supporting Schmidt’s opponent, Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly and Lt. Gov. David Toland.
