Maybe he doesn't want to monkey up his campaign for the governorship by remaining in the congress?

It’s much more fun to speculate based on your race centric views.

So, why do you suppose he’s resigning from the US Congress, but not ending his campaign for governor?

GOP's Ron DeSantis resigns from Congress to focus on Florida gubernatorial campaign

Florida Republican Rep. Ron DeSantis said Monday he will resign from Congress to focus on his bid for governor.


DeSantis, who was endorsed by President Trump, is facing Bernie Sanders-backed Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum in what’s shaping up to be a close, nationally-watched contest.


DeSantis sent a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan on Monday announcing his immediate resignation.


"As the Republican nominee for Governor of Florida, it is clear to me that I will likely miss the vast majority of our remaining session days for this Congress. Under these circumstances, it would be inappropriate for me to accept a salary," DeSantis said.


DeSantis had already decided not to run for re-election to Florida’s 6th congressional district seat. Republican Michael Waltz is facing Democrat Nancy Soderberg for DeSantis’ congressional seat in November.


Before DeSantis’ resignation, Republicans held 237 seats in Congress, while Democrats had 193.


The current governor of Florida, Republican Gov. Rick Scott, is leaving office due to term limits and is running for the U.S. Senate.


DeSantis defeated state Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam in Florida’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Aug. 28 after riding the wave of the president's enthusiastic endorsement to victory. The president repeatedly had implored voters to support DeSantis over Putnam.

Ok first, your smoke and fire is silly didn't you learn from the last 2 years of "there is smoke there must be fire" silliness

Second your story is one of the worst jobs of reporting ever,
"U.S. Representative Ron DeSantis, a Republican running for governor of Florida, has notified House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan that he is resigning from Congress, an aide to Ryan said on Monday.

Ryan has received a letter from DeSantis notifying him of the resignation, the aide said. His reasons for resigning now were not immediately available.

Wow it seems that his reasons are pretty clear......... Just saying........

Another failed thread.

I don't even know what smoke the genius is referring to at this time? But then again neither does the thread troller.

BTW a Trump hating liberal friend used the term Gorilla Mask the other day. I immediately asked him if that was a dog whistle or a Dog Mega horn. Hey buddy you can't say that remember?
