'DeSantis Thunderdome': Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis enters local politics in a big way

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis entered local politics in a big way on Monday with endorsements in 20 local school board elections.

“We need strong local school board members who are committed to advancing our agenda to put students first and protect parents’ rights,” he tweeted. “I am proud to endorse 10 local school board candidates who will set our children up for success”:

His list included 10 board hopefuls from across Florida, including Sarasota incumbent Bridget Ziegler, who co-founded Moms for Liberty, and Alachua incumbent Mildred Russell, a DeSantis appointee who led the ouster of the district’s pro-masking superintendent.

Is there any Republican that gets the proverbial “it” more than DeSantis right now?

And, apparently, Gov. DeSantis never bothered to tell all the candidates there would even be debates. Who’s ready for “DeSantis Thunderdome”?

And they’ll thank the governor for doing it:

Hey, we did learn in that New Yorker profile that he “doesn’t give a f***”:
