DeSantis Lashes Out at House Speaker Perez over Blocked Agenda ...
DeSantis said House leaders blocked debate on AI and vaccine proposals after the Senate backed both measures and polls showed broad public support.
- On Thursday, Governor Ron DeSantis criticized Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez during a Madison County event for blocking his legislative priorities, including artificial intelligence regulations and medical freedom proposals.
- Tensions escalated after House leadership refused to hear those measures during last month's special session, with Perez claiming no companion bills were filed to address the Senate-supported topics.
- DeSantis countered that lawmakers were told "Don't file on this," calling it a pretext; the House simultaneously rebuffed Senate attempts to spend $3.9 million for the Florida State Guard.
- Budget negotiations remain strained as the House refuses to fund programs championed by First Lady Casey DeSantis, rejecting a $5 million food testing initiative despite the budget already including $60 million for existing cancer research.
- Legislative dynamics have shifted significantly, as Perez has acted more independently since taking office in 2024, diverging from the alignment DeSantis experienced in previous six years of legislative leadership.
