By Ron DeSantis standards, it was a pretty low-key week. The Florida governor, known for engaging in dramatic culture wars, paused his presidential campaign to prepare for Hurricane Idalia. In the midst of the storm, former President Donald Trump floated a rumor that DeSantis would soon be ending his White House campaign to challenge Rick Scott for U.S. Senate. Coincidentally, it was Scott standing in for DeSantis during President Joe Biden’s visit to survey the damage from Idalia.
