On Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) unveiled a plan to dedicate land in South Florida to President Trump’s future presidential library.
In a press release, the governor announced he will propose a plan to dedicate a 2.63-acre parcel in Miami-Dade County for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library at the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund on Sept. 30.
“President Trump has achieved results for the American people and made a lasting impact on our nation’s history,” DeSantis said in a statement. “No state has better delivered the President’s agenda than the Free State of Florida, and we would be honored to house his presidential library here in his home state.”
The land is currently used as a parking lot for Miami-Dade College.
In a post on X on Tuesday, state Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) said he could “think of no better location” to tell Trump’s story.
“It is the greatest political comeback story in American history,” Uthmeier said. “Florida will be blessed to house the library for one of our own state presidents and to be apart of such meaningful history.”
Florida has become the center of the Republican universe, with Trump changing his voter registration from New York to Florida in 2019. The president and his allies often convene at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.
