JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis kicked off his second term in office after the official swearing-in on Tuesday in Tallahassee.
The governor took the oath of office at the Historic Capitol at noon, however, Politico reports that the inauguration celebrations are expected to be spread out over two days.
The outlet reports there will be an inaugural ball afterward.
DeSantis has not announced a presidential campaign, however, speculation has it that he could be eying the top spot at the White House.
In fact, DeSantis holds a generous lead against former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical Wall Street Journal poll.
In the poll, DeSantis gathered 52 percent of the vote compared to Trump's 38 percent. In addition, DeSantis' name seems to ring bells as only about 10 percent of likely GOP primary voters said they didn't know enough about him to form an opinion.
Following Trump's 2024 presidential campaign announcement in November, the former president took aim at DeSantis — who used to be one of his biggest allies. In a series of tweets, he repeated the "Ron DeSanctimonious" nickname he first used at a Pennsylvania rally.
