DeSantis is also expected to show face outside of the Sunshine State. The presidential hopeful will embark on the campaign trail after the Memorial Day holiday and will visit key states.
The announcement followed a travel advisory warning issued by the NAACP to Black Americans on visiting Florida.
“Under the leadership of Governor DeSantis, the state of Florida has become hostile to Black Americans and in direct conflict with the democratic ideals that our union was founded upon,” said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson on Saturday.
“He should know that democracy will prevail because its defenders are prepared to stand up and fight. We’re not backing down, and we encourage our allies to join us in the battle for the soul of our nation.”
