Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday indicated that he still has unfinished business in the coming months before he could officially enter the 2024 presidential race.

The โ€œtwo big thingsโ€ he has at hand are a book tour promoting his upcoming memoir, โ€œThe Courage to be Free,โ€ and the 2023 legislative session spanning from early March to early May, the Republican governor said on โ€œFox & Friends.โ€

The book talks about โ€œFloridaโ€™s blueprint for American revival,โ€ DeSantis said. โ€œWeโ€™re going to go on a tour on that. Weโ€™re going to sell some books. Weโ€™re going to spread the message of Florida.โ€

Once the legislative session kicks off on March 8, Floridians will be seeing a Republican โ€œsupermajorityโ€ working to advance his agenda, DeSantis added. The 60-day session will conclude on May 5.

โ€œYou ainโ€™t seen nothing yet. This is going to be the most productive legislative session we have had across the board, and I think people are going to be really excited,โ€ the governor told the hosts. โ€œSo those are what weโ€™re going to be doing over these next few months as we get beyond that, then we can decide from there.โ€

Two Republicansโ€”former President Donald Trump and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haleyโ€”have so far announced their 2024 White House bid.

At another point in the interview, DeSantis dismissed the recent criticism from Republicans Haley and former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, while not directly responding to them.

Haleyโ€™s criticism targets an education law that bans public school teachers in Florida from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms, which has been misleadingly described by corporate media as the โ€œโ€˜Donโ€™t Say Gayโ€™ bill.โ€

โ€œThere was all this talk about the Florida billโ€”the โ€˜Donโ€™t Say Gayโ€™ bill. Basically what it said was you shouldnโ€™t be able to talk about gender before third grade,โ€ Haley said on a Feb. 17 town hall event in New Hampshire. โ€œIโ€™m sorry. I donโ€™t think that goes far enough.โ€
