Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has offered the clearest indication yet that he would pardon former President Donald Trump if he were to be convicted on multiple criminal charges. DeSantis has been campaigning for the 2024 presidential election and has expressed his wish that Trump had not been indicted. He has compared the situation to President Ford's pardon of President Nixon, and his comments come as the first ballots are set to be cast in the 2024 presidential election.
