DeSantis continues campaign against ballot initiatives | Florida
SUMMARY: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized two constitutional amendments on the Nov. 5 ballot—Amendment 3, which seeks to legalize recreational marijuana, and Amendment 4, which aims to secure abortion rights—claiming their language is intentionally vague. Speaking in Clearwater with physicians and coach Tony Dungy, he expressed concerns that these amendments could undermine parental rights and open pathways for taxpayer-funded abortions. Dungy echoed these sentiments, insisting that Florida’s healthcare system is adequate and not endangered by the amendments. Both amendments have backing from well-funded political committees, raising concerns about their influence on Florida’s governance.

Judge rejects call for recusal in Trump assassination case | Florida
SUMMARY: U.S. Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Donald Trump, denied a request for recusal from Ryan Wesley Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate Trump. Routh’s defense argued that Cannon’s past rulings favoring Trump created a conflict of interest, suggesting her assignment to this case was questionable. Routh, who has pleaded not guilty, faces charges related to firearm possession and stalking Trump.

She reiterated that cases are assigned randomly, emphasizing her impartiality and lack of personal ties with Trump.
