  • Trump's properties also continue to be a draw for political events. Last month, House Republicans spent their policy retreat at Trump National Doral near Miami. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans held their winter meeting at the Breakers Palm Beach, also joining the president for dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

The article from POLITICO's Florida Playbook discusses the persistent influence of former President Donald Trump in Florida politics, even as he faces legal challenges. It highlights how Trump's presence continues to shape the state's Republican Party, with mentions of his recent activities like attending a wedding at Mar-a-Lago and his ongoing legal battles, including a case involving classified documents. The piece also touches on the political maneuvers of other Florida Republicans, like Governor Ron DeSantis, who is navigating his own political future amidst Trump's overshadowing presence. Additionally, it covers local political news, such as the potential impact of Trump's legal issues on the GOP's strategy for the 2024 elections, and the internal dynamics within the Florida GOP as they try to move forward while still being closely tied to Trump's legacy and current activities.
