North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum appears to have qualified for the upcoming Republican primary debate on Wednesday, according to an analysis by NBC News. The RNC is the final arbiter on who qualifies for the debates, and recent polling has secured Burgum a spot on the stage pending approval from the Republican National Committee.

A Florida state judge has ruled that the redistricting plan proposed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and approved by the state legislature violates the state constitution and is prohibited from being used for any future U.S. congressional elections. The plan was challenged in court by voting rights groups, who argued that it would reduce the influence of Black voters in the state. The ruling is seen as a victory for those fighting for voting rights and fair representation in the state, and is expected to have a major impact on the 2022 congressional elections in Florida.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will not meet with President Joe Biden when he visits the state this weekend to survey the damage from Hurricane Idalia.

It is unclear whether DeSantis will join the President on the trip.
The Republican Party of Nevada has announced that they will be holding a caucus on February 8th to determine the state's presidential primary winner, causing a clash between the 2024 presidential campaigns and party leaders. In response, a super PAC supporting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' presidential run has suspended its door knocking outreach in Nevada and three other Super Tuesday states. This adjustment is a reminder of the outsized role the PAC has played in DeSantis' campaign, and it is unclear how this decision will affect the outcome of the election.
