Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Tuesday an additional $2.1 million in funding to bolster military-supporting infrastructure through the Defense Reinvestment Grant Program, bringing the total investment in Florida’s military communities to $6.

A special election will be held in Florida to fill the vacancy left by Republican U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz, contrary to posts that say state Governor Ron DeSantis can appoint a replacement.

Matt Gaetz took to social media over the weekend and toyed with the idea of running for Florida governor. Gaetz spent his first weekend after a failed bid to become President-elect Donald Trump's pick for U.

While former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’s attempt to become attorney general may only have lasted eight days, he could be making a run for governor in 2026. Florida State Rep. Anthony Sabatini wrote in a post on X on Saturday that he predicts that Gaetz will be the Sunshine State’s next governor at the end of Governor Ron DeSantis’s second term.

Former Rep Matt Gaetz might be up to succeed Ron DeSantis as Florida's governor. The 42-year-old earlier this week withdrew his bid to become President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general and said that he will not be running for Congress next year.
