After giving his final State of the State address in Tallahassee, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will be holding a news conference in Pinellas County on Wednesday.
The news conference will take place at Seminole High School at 9 a.m.
Details on what DeSantis will discuss were not released.
On Tuesday, DeSantis reflected on his last seven years in office in his final State of the State address.
DeSantis said he took office in 2019 with a “bold agenda” and that the state has delivered in areas such as cutting taxes, expanding school choice, increasing teacher pay, remaking the higher-education system and pouring money into Everglades restoration.
Since this is DeSantis’ last term as governor, several Florida lawmakers have announced their candidacy in hopes of succeeding him.
One of those people includes Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins and Republican Congressman Byron Donalds, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump.
Other candidates in the Republican primary are Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett, Azoria CEO James Fishback, former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner and activist Bobby Williams.
Democratic candidates are Orlando Mayor Jerry Demings and former Republican U.S. Rep. David Jolly.
Florida’s primary elections will take place on Aug. 18, while the general election is on Nov. 3.
