Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis will be inaugurated on Tuesday for a second term steering Florida, and the nation’s political world will be watching.

With DeSantis considered a likely 2024 presidential contender by political prognosticators, the governor will deliver a noon speech on the steps of the historic state Capitol in Tallahassee after he's sworn in, nearly two months after a decisive 19-point re-election victory.

The address from DeSantis – who’s seen his popularity soaring among Republicans across the country and his standing in early 2024 GOP presidential nomination polls rival and even eclipse those of former President Donald Trump – will be closely watched for how much it focuses on Florida versus national issues and for any signals of his national ambitions.

"In the quiet early moments of the presidential primary, clearly DeSantis has become the front-runner. So, every action, every move, every speech that he makes is going to be watched and analyzed with fine tooth comb," New Hampshire Institute of Politics executive director Neil Levesque told Fox News.
