Ron DeSantis Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Ron DeSantis has been front and center in both state politics and the national spotlight this week. On November 14, reports from CT Insider and the Buckley Institute confirmed that DeSantis was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at Yale University's Buckley Institute Annual Conference in New Haven, putting his Ivy League roots and conservative political vision into sharp focus. Though his anticipated appearance was big news, all eyes are also on his recent comments about the state of conservatism. As covered by Florida Politics this week, DeSantis described the movement as entering its "racket stage," blaming paid influencers for muddying the waters—a pointed critique that resonated across political circles.On the policy side, the fallout from Florida's social media law continued to unfold. Starting January 1, 2025, children under 14 are prohibited from holding social media accounts in Florida, and 14- and 15-year-olds need parental consent. Multiple outlets, including WUSF, Tallahassee Democrat, and the Harvard Law Review, pointed out that major tech groups have renewed their challenge to the law, warning that it might not be immediately enforced due to ongoing federal litigation. The law was a priority for DeSantis, and while he has faced criticism from free-speech advocates, his administration remains committed to the restrictions, emphasizing child safety amid broader national debates.Culturally, DeSantis commemorated "Victims of Communism Day" at Miami's Freedom Tower, as reported by WLRN and WUSF, spotlighting the state's push to educate future generations about the dangers of communism. Hundreds of high school students attended, and DeSantis used the occasion to tout new educational initiatives, including classes launching in 2026 with a focus on economic and individual freedom.Social media brought DeSantis into a clash with Colorado Governor Jared Polis. According to the Denver Gazette, the pair sparred online over marijuana legalization and taxation, with DeSantis insisting Colorado's tax revenues have dropped due to black market competition while Polis boasted over $3 billion collected for public projects. The debate came as Congress passed a near-ban on hemp-derived THC products, intensifying national attention.In business and redistricting news, DeSantis has signaled strong support for President Trump’s controversial mid-decade census and redistricting plan, as reported by The Express, hoping to boost Republican seats ahead of 2026.Finally, DeSantis continues to sign significant bills in Tallahassee, including measures on insurance refunds and flood disclosures, according to the state's official press site.
