The relationship between governor Ron Ron Zanthis and Republican Florida legislation leaders have become open hostility.
In social media publications and public pronouncements this week, Desantis blamed Legislators to sabotage his plans for strong implementation of immigration. Chairman of the Chamber and the President of the Senate who accepted their own immigration plan They call the Trump law, say, in essence, that landing is a false control of control.
There are real differences in policy between the governor and the republican legislators. Mainly among them: Rannis offers the lawmaker’s proposal to name Florida Wilton Simpson Agriculture Commissioner, Chief Immigration Officer of the State. Hoghodis has already said that he will veto the account.
“I have never seen a more negative response from the public to the legislature,” Zanthis said on Wednesday. “… they think that if they put Trump’s name on it, it will somehow pull the wave over the eyes of people.”
But one disagreement of politics does not explain the present state of things in Talahassi. More happens below the surface.
Lobbyists, legislators and other political observers interviewed by Tampa Bay Times have suggested theories about how things have become so toxic among the best Republicans in Florida. Let’s dig into three of the most right -minded ones.
1. The legislature is tired of the landing
Legislators were not chosen to serve Ron Ron’s political needs. But some of the legislature believe that this is asked to do sometimes.
Since 2021, legislators have been summoned back to Talahasi for eight special sessions on topics ranging from Covid-19 vaccines to Disney to real estate insurance. Some of these sessions have achieved scattered policies to win for a landing, which he tried to make it an inertia for his unsuccessful presidential campaign in 2024.
“He is a duck governor, but he doesn’t behave like that,” said Democratic Representative Anna Escamani, citing state legislation, which prevents the landing from looking for a third term in 2026. I just no longer have fun. “
Florida’s legislation is a part -time body. The regular legislative session is 60 days long, and legislators move to Capitol for several extra weeks each Year to meet in committees.
It was not intended to include any legislative business in the past week – until the landingis called a special immigration session.
The weather was a personal attack by some legislators, said Senator Randy Finn, R-Palm Bay, one of the main Republican critics of the landing and a correspondence of the Legislative Immigration Plan.
“I don’t think we would have gotten to this place if the governor had just called him a week when we were to be here.”
Others find the grille for the leadership of the landing. When republican legislators do not agree with Desantis, they are often subjected to a barrage of online insults by pro-desantis X accounts, including some managed by government officials.
“We have not chosen your great friends on AG to create a fake bureaucracy,” the clutch of landing, Jeremy Redfern, published on Wednesday in the direction of Senate President Ben Albrite, R-Wauchula.
With Desantis, such a prominent national figure, those who strive for it will probably be exploded into conservative media. On Tuesday, Roanthis appeared in the Laura Ingraham Fox News Program for a common interview with Softball.
Ingraham, after hearing Desantis’s description of the behavior of the legislature, said it was time to “point the names and to say, see, this is what you do, you simplify the will of the people, then you will be voted out of office. End of history. ”
Department interviewed with four other conservative media figures the same day, according to his schedule.
In the remarks on the floor of the house on Tuesday, the speaker Danny Perez, another from the landing foil in the immigration dispute, said the legislators did not like such tactics.
“The threat of others to make their way is not leadership, it is immaturity,” Perez said. “The people of our country deserve better.”
It’s not just difficult conversations that legislators are angry. Some believe that Desantis punishes disloyalty by imposing pet projects. But this week, with an almost universal vote, the legislature has restored over $ 56 million that the governor has reduced. This move may demonstrate the desire of legislators to withdraw when the landing kills their policies or budget priorities in the future.
In an interview with Times/Herald, on Wednesday, Perez said he would take care to cancel a potential veto of Desantis from the Immigration Bill.
“All the options are on the table,” he said.
Senator Joe Gruts, R-Sarasota, a lawyer of the Senate Legislative Bill, said the focus should be on a good policy, not who receives the loan.
“We are swinging at each other. What? Why? “Gruters said.
2. Desantis assumes special interests
Assanthis said the merit for legislation was irrelevant to him. His explanation for all cabinets: He is fighting for Florida people. The legislature is fighting for special interests.
Department claims that the legislature sabotage the state’s efforts to implement immigration. Legislators want to install Simpson as Chief Immigration Officer to defend the agricultural industry with an appetite to work from people in the country illegally, Outantis said. In X publications, he likened Simpson to this position of “The Fox guarding the hen.”
This is an unexpected line of attack on a landing. At a press conference two weeks earlier, the governor stated that he was “offensive” to say that Florida relies largely on the work of migrants in the country illegally. At this press conference, Union noted that farmers often have visas to work here legitimately.
The US Department of Agriculture estimated last year that about 40% of agriculture workers across the country have no legal work permit since the beginning of Biden’s administration.
In response to the last wide countries of the landing Simpson, the governor offended the farmers of the state. Grots called the governor’s comments “not useful”. Florida Farm Bureau did not respond to requests for comment.
The landing is right that the legislature is cozy with the largest industries in Florida. Simpson himself is a rich farmer for trading eggs. Albrite, the president of the Senate, is a citrus farmer. American sugar donated $ 300,000 to a political committee supporting Senate Republicans in the last election cycle.
But the landing itself has also made BIG AG some services, Escmani noted. The 2021 law, which he signed, makes it difficult for people to judge polluting farms. She said she doubted the skepticism of the landing to the world of business would last a long time.
“It’s great if you are going to call an industry when it’s politically convenient for you,” Escamani said. “Will this be your position in terms of everything?”
3. Trump’s people contradict the people of the landing
In some way, this explanation makes the least sense. Both the landing and the legislature say they work on behalf of Trump. They both said they were discussing their White House immigration proposals. Hoghodis said on Thursday that he was talking to Trump’s border Tom Homan. Gruts said he had talked about immigration policy with Trump’s deputy headquarters Stephen Miller “numerous” times this week.
Both sides accuse the other of being more involved in Trump. The landings said that those who support the bill would turn Florida into a “factual sanctuary”.
Meanwhile, among the largest allies of Florida, landing is regarded as unfair that he runs against him for president in 2024. its political circle in 2019)
“I’m not the one who opposed and opposed President Trump,” Simpson, The Agriculture Commissioner, published in X earlier this week. Department criticizes Simpson’s support for 2014 bill, offering state education to children brought to the country illegally.
The class and landing class can be cleared of a single online post by Trump. Grots said he wasn’t sure Trump would like to get involved.
But bad feelings are likely to remain. This week, against the background of the immigration dispute, Fine won a Republican primary for special congressional elections. Trump approved it early, making the way to his easy victory.
Fine noted that dozens of Florida legislators approve of a president for president during the 2024 cycle. They seem to not reap the benefits, he said.
“My loyalty to Donald Trump is rewarded with a place in the congress,” Fine said. “Their loyalty is rewarded with text messages that call them rhinos” – an abbreviation, which means only Republican.
