2024 prospects
DeSantis recently topped a straw poll for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. I do not have the authority to add this information, and I'm not sure where it would best fit, but it warrants a mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.101.190.163 (talk) 16:16, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Environment
I do not want to get into a political battle here and do not identify with either major political party. There needs to be much more added on Governor DeSantis positive Environmental initiatives for the State of Florida. He and his cabinet are doing so much to protect our environment, actually more than I have seen of any state in my lifetime.

The line with citation #148, claiming “Ron Desantis supports an audit of The Federal Reserve”, is a dead link and the link needs to be removed as does the unsubstantiated claim on this protected Wikipedia page.

COVID
The first sentence of this section says there were "mixed reviews" by experts and the media of his handling of COVID, yet only critical opinions are included. The entire section is written in a negative tone. That doesn't seem very balanced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:6080:E101:D8C9:B495:763F:9040:246 (talk) 01:06, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
In March 2021, Politico described DeSantis as the most "politically ascendant" governor in the country, as his controversial policies had been at that point "short of or even the opposite of ruinous", while Florida at that point had "fared no worse, and in some ways better, than many other states".[1]
- added. starship.paint (exalt) 03:59, 11 August 2021 (UTC)- Citing a five month old source regarding a fast moving topic like COVID-19 is ill-advised. Cases in Florida are ten times higher than a couple of months ago, and a search today on Google News for stories about DeSantis and COVID-19 show that the coverage of him on this issue in August 2021 is overwhelmingly negative. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:23, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Cullen328: - then you can add such content since you are familiar with it. Wikipedia does not only point the latest coverage. We are presenting his overall history. Perhaps coverage was negative, then positive, then negative again. It does not mean it was wholly negative. I also never claimed that his current coverage is positive. starship.paint (exalt) 06:47, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Starship.paint, as you know, you are personally and individually obligated to comply with the neutral point of view core content policy. Adding a five month old source when COVID-19 cases are ten times higher today is not NPOV. So, I am asking you to make corrections to bring the article closer to NPOV. Thank you. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:57, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Cullen328: - again, you are acutely aware of such sources, not me. Why don't you bring them to the table so I can evaluate them? I'm not even standing in the way of you adding them. starship.paint (exalt) 08:14, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

It seems obvious that one can be a Trump supporter or protect public health, not both.
