Contributing sentiments towards policy:

87% : Trump said in late December that he believes the program is "great.
35% : Rubio was selected to serve in Trump's administration shortly after Trump won the 2024 presidential race, handing DeSantis a Senate appointment that is likely to have ripple effects across Florida government and politics.
27% : Most recently, Moody's office, which is technically separate from the governor's office, filed a lawsuit in October against the Department of Justice over what she argued was a federal government effort to block Florida's own investigation into the second assassination attempt against Trump, which happened in September at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
20% : Moody said the state's independent investigation was needed, in part, because the DOJ should not have been investigating an attempted assassination attempt on Trump while simultaneously trying to prosecute him.
6% : Since Trump's election victory in November, former special counsel Jack Smith, who was leading federal cases against Trump over whether he tried to overturn the 2020 election and over alleged mishandling of classified documents, has resigned, and those cases against Trump have ended.
