TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis mirrored actions from U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republican governors Tuesday, ordering that flags in the state be raised on Inauguration Day to mark President-elect Donald Trump's second term.

What You Need To Know

  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered that flags in the state be raised to full-staff on Inauguration Day to mark President-elect Donald Trump's second term

  • The order will pause a 30-day flag-lowering order issued by President Joe Biden following the death of former President Jimmy Carter

  • DeSantis noted in his announcement that U.S. flags across Florida would be relowered on Jan. 21

"In light of the importance of this day, and on this patriotic occasion, I hereby order all flags to be raised to full-staff at the Florida Capitol and across all state buildings, installations and ground for the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump," DeSantis wrote in a memorandum.

The order will pause a 30-day flag-lowering order issued by President Joe Biden following the death of former President Jimmy Carter.

"On this unique occasion, where we simultaneously celebrate the service of an incoming president and commend the service of a former president, our nation's flag will be prominently displayed at full-staff to honor the tradition of our founding fathers and the sacrifices made by those who have served to ensure the torch of liberty continues to burn strong," DeSantis' memorandum continued.

DeSantis noted in his announcement that U.S. flags across Florida would be re-owered on Jan. 21 in honor of Carter.

Trump has already taken action over the flags that he can control: at his home in Florida.

In the days following Carter's burial, a large U.S. flag at Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club was observed already flying at its full height, despite an order from DeSantis that mirrors Biden's.
