Gov. DeSantis keeps low profile on day Trump is arraigned

A pet adoption event he attended was closed to reporters.

On the day former President Donald Trump was arraigned in a New York City courtroom, Gov. Ron DeSantis spent time with puppies across the street from the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee.

DeSantis attended a pet adoption event hosted by the Republican Party of Florida late on Tuesday afternoon. He was accompanied by his wife, first lady Casey DeSantis, and their three children, Madison, Mason and Mamie.

The governor kept a low profile and the press away. At the outdoor event featuring an ice cream truck, dozens of puppies and face-painting for kids, his political team asked three reporters to leave, saying the event was closed to the press.

Before attending the pet adoption event, the governor made no public appearances. He held meetings with legislative staff at his office in the state Capitol, where the legislative session is taking place. He also appointed Knute Nathe to the Pasco County Court.
