DeSantis' power is on full display as he pushes lawmakers on Disney and redistricting Enlarge this image toggle caption Phelan M. Ebenhack/AP Phelan M. Ebenhack/AP After months of back and forth, lawmakers in Florida have passed Gov. Ron DeSantis' controversial congressional district voting map — and have pushed forward his last-minute plan to scrap Disney World's special regulatory status in the state. State Rep. Anna Eskamani, a Democrat from Orlando, said Republican House leaders steamrolled the bills forward after halting debate as Democratic lawmakers continued protesting the governor's map. Voting rights groups, voters and members of the Florida Black Legislative Caucus rallied outside the state capitol on Tuesday before lawmakers convened to pass the governor's map. "It's unfair, unconstitutional, an attack on Black representation and injustice to Black voters," said Northside Coalition President Ben Frazier, who came in a motorcade from Jacksonville to protest the map.
