Tampa Bay Times: “The two-day affair is organized by a group of former campaign staffers that call themselves Team DeSantis, along with the Republican Party of Florida. Neither have publicly released a schedule of events. The public-facing website lists the official swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the Old Capitol at noon. The theme of the event mirrors the governor’s campaign slogan: ‘The Free State of Florida.’”
“Despite the absence of public information, the Herald/Times has confirmed that the events begin Monday night with an exclusive candlelight dinner at the newly completed Student Union at Florida State University. Donors are asked to pay $50,000 to $1 million for special access packages that include tickets to the dinner, VIP seats for the inauguration and tickets to the black-tie inaugural ball Tuesday.”
Miami Herald: “Observers are watching closely to see how much his first speech post-swearing in focuses on state vs. national issues, and on red meat for the conservative base vs. broader appeals to moderates.”
