The Left has done nothing but celebrate Donald Trump's conviction in Manhattan late last week, cheering that he's now a convicted felon, will go to prison, lose his voting rights, etc. Joy Behar went TMI explaining her glee.
But they're going to be so sad to hear Ron DeSantis has made it clear Trump will be able to vote in Florida in the upcoming presidential election.
Former President Donald Trump hasn't lost his voting rights in Florida. Rights are not removed in Florida where they haven't yet been stripped in the convicting jurisdiction.

Our party and our country need it.
They do.
We greatly appreciate the fact that you were one of the first to defend Trump after the wrongful verdict and continue to stand up for him. Thank you Ron.

We're grateful.
The clemency process for restoration of civil and firearm rights takes years. Please fast track his application.

Integrity. Every time.

Every single time.
This goes beyond one candidate or one election. This injustice, this organized political attack on Biden's political opposition is an attack on our very Republic and cannot stand. Anyone who thinks this is about Trump has completely lost the plot. It's Chicago politics writ large

Yes it is. Lawfare.
This is the level of doing the right thing I supported you for. Boom.

Boom, indeed.
Have the online DeSantis stans seen this? Their guy understands how American politics works in the year 2024 even if they don't. https://t.co/C5ZBrVKu8w

It would be hilarious, but also cost us Florida's electoral votes, alas.
The ACLU should take note of his commitment to the civil rights of convicted felons. https://t.co/rXpa3TkOGk

This is the way.
DeSantis is the GOAT.

He gets it. That's why I supported him, and will follow him in his support of Trump. https://t.co/3uh62vZWT8
Uniting the party.
Losing his vote would give Trump one of the best rallying cries a presidential candidate could ever have:
