Trump Halts DeSantis AI Bill, Splitting Florida GOP

Florida’s DeSantis‑backed AI‑regulation bill stalled after former President Trump warned against state‑level controls, exposing a split among GOP leaders over how to handle the fast‑moving technology. While DeSantis framed the measure as a consumer‑protection effort, Trump’s push for a hands‑off approach rallied many Republicans to reject the proposal, leaving the state without a clear AI policy.
