TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — In his new book to be released on Tuesday, Gov. Ron DeSantis describes what he thinks it takes to govern America in an era of grievance politics and partisan polarization, but what the Florida governor leaves out of his 256-page telling is often as interesting as what he includes.
“The Courage to Be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival” is the requisite precursor to a likely 2024 presidential campaign, which DeSantis is expected to announce this spring.
For readers who have followed his numerous news conferences and political rallies, there are no new themes in the book. He heaps scorn on the “administrative state,” “medical authoritarianism,” the Democratic Party, “woke corporations,” Big Tech companies, “corporate media,” and most American universities.
