Gov. Ron Desantis is expected to announce his run for president at any time.
Desantis has used his conservative support to pass laws in Florida from abortion to guns to education. Today, we spoke with the leader of Red Wine and Blue, Rachel Vindman.
Red Wine and Blue has organized suburban women to go against what they refer to as “extremism.” They combat issues such as fights over masks, bans on books and diversity education.
Vindman is the creator of “The Suburban Woman Problem” podcast and is new to Florida.

'Seen'
Julie Delegal, who won the Eric Hoffer Book Award for fiction for young adults, joined us to talk about her book "Seen." The book was inspired by a tragedy that took place in Jacksonville 23 years ago, when 15-year-old Brenton Butler was arrested in the murder of a Georgia tourist in 2000.
