BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. —
As Gov. Ron DeSantis continues with his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, the insurance fallout could make its way to the national political stage.
“Now, is it all the governor’s fault? Of course it’s not all the governor’s fault. We know that’s not the way political attacks work. If you are associated with something and you are the governor, if it’s negative or bad, you are going to get pinned with that,” UCF Political Scientist Aubrey Jewett said.
In light of the recent insurance market volatility, the governor’s office points to the passage of significant reform legislation, but that it will take time to be reflected in the market.
New policies, especially if they involve economics, are a longer-term game and a challenge in the very short-term ‘what have you done for me lately’ world of politics.
“But in politics, most people are impatient, they are looking at what’s going on right now. And I think for a lot of voters, this is probably becoming a big concern,” Jewett said.
It’s a concern that could travel to voters outside of the state as the governor has focused part of his campaign on taking what he calls the successes in Florida to the White House.
But the success of insurance reform is still a work in progress.
