The threat comes one day after the Florida governor ended his presidential campaign.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ® on Monday indicated he would veto a bill that would give up to $5 million in taxpayer money to Donald Trump to help pay his extensive legal fees.

DeSantis, who ended a bitter campaign against Trump for the Republican presidential nomination on Sunday, shared a story about the bill on X, along with his veto comments:

The “Florida Freedom Fighters Fund” bill, introduced earlier this month by State Sen. Ileana Garcia ®, would offer cash to Florida residents running for president who are charged with crimes and are “victims of political discrimination.”

      I expect it’ll come in the form of Katrina-like events, hurricanes causing massive flooding.

          Did you hear Florida has a system where private insurers can just pick and choose the policies they want away from the state funded insurance program? The homeowner will just get a letter that says, “we’re your new insurer now!”

          Florida taxpayers literally get the dregs.
