Miami Beach has launched an ad campaign "breaking up" with spring break tourism. Last year, two people were fatally shot during spring break, leading Miami Beach to declare a state of emergency. Police made 573 arrests in Miami Beach last spring break, as well as confiscated over 100 guns, The Wall Street Journal reported. Though many travelers have already made plans — and may not have seen the ad campaign — the "breakup" could reduce disorder. Still, some commenters on YouTube and X noted that these restrictions may not stop spring break travelers from coming.

Ron DeSantis was an early proponent of the COVID vaccine, urging the elderly to get the shot. A New York Times report this week suggests a spike in Florida Covid deaths in July 2021 could be related. Florida made up 14% of deaths between July and October 2021, despite representing less than 7% of the country, according to The Times. But local officials in Florida told The Times that DeSantis' public shift on vaccines was notable. But DeSantis' vaccine pivots are worth reckoning with, Dan Gelber, the Democratic mayor of Miami Beach, told The Times.

Miami Beach's mayor recently said officials "don't want spring break in our city." Spring break is among the reasons the state generates billions of dollars in tax revenue per year from tourism. But there are signs that booming population growth, which Florida's Office of Economic and Demographic Research has described as the state's "primary engine of economic growth," could help diversify the state's economy. The number of arrests in the city during spring break more than doubled in 1986 from the same period in 1985. While thousands of college students still frequent Fort Lauderdale during spring break, the city's current mayor, Dean Trantalis, described them as "very well behaved."
A man was handcuffed after witnesses said he appeared to be brandishing a knife in Miami Beach, Fla., on Sunday. Authorities in Miami Beach, Fla., have said they no longer want spring breakers to visit the city after two fatal shootings involving partygoers over the weekend. Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber imposed a curfew on visitors Sunday night and said his administration would consider extending restrictions for the coming weekend.
Like Trump, Bush has experienced what it's like to watch a younger man overshadow him, a man he worked hard to support. Bush and Rubio were allies in Florida government, and Rubio was widely viewed as a Bush protége. There is nobody who can even come close to generating the excitement and enthusiasm as President Trump has and will do in 2024." In the end, Trump branding Bush as "low energy" wasn't the only thing standing between Bush and the nomination. "DeSantis is like the one person who has gotten more out of Trump than Trump has gotten out of them."
