This is another reason I would love to see DeSantis follow up Trump. He's similar in ways but is much more polished.
He has stayed consistent on his stances.

All eyes on Florida, DeSantis – from fighting COVID to stopping wokeness, state is leading the way
It’s a funny time to be a new Floridian.
In January our family, very publicly, moved from New York City to south Florida.
Even before our move, it seemed like Florida was more central than ever to the national conversation. Gov. Ron DeSantis had famously taken a different path with COVID restrictions and was under intense scrutiny by the liberal media. Every move the governor made, from insisting parents have the final say whether their child wears a mask in school to hiring a sane and capable Florida surgeon general has garnered a serious amount of attention.
But in the last few weeks, that attention has been on steroids.
It started with the Parental Rights in Education bill, signed into law by the governor last week. In it, "Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate."
I have yet to meet anyone in Florida who finds this controversial. I’m in a formerly blue part of the state. My local elected officials are mostly still Democrats. And yet every parent I’ve come across has been supportive of this law. There is no outcry on any of the local Facebook groups.
It seems like the tumult is completely manufactured on a national level by the liberal media that continues to interview only parents opposed to the law.
