Warren challenged his suspension in federal court, arguing that DeSantis had violated his First Amendment rights. A federal judge ruled in early 2023 that while the governor’s actions were likely unconstitutional, he lacked the power to reinstate him.


Florida’s Constitution gives the governor the power to suspend elected officials for various reasons, including neglect of duty and malfeasance or commission of a felony. Previous governors have primarily suspended local officials who have been arrested, but DeSantis embraced a wider use of the suspension powers before and during his run for higher office.


I think he's running again
