Episode notes

Lawrence Maurer: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has national ambitions. He's still working on a re-election bid in these coming midterms. That's right, he's running against former Republican governor, Charlie Christ. Lawrence: Descentis has been raising money for years now from billionaires across the country. But nevertheless, Charlie Christ faces a real uphill battle here.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has hit on a winning — if possibly unethical — campaign strategy: prosecuting people who accidentally committed voter fraud. The Tampa Bay Times’s Lawrence Mower explains.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan and Siona Peterous, fact-checked by Laura Bullard with help from Jillian Weinberger, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram, who also edited.
