DeSantis claims victory over Florida abortion, marijuana amendments as supporters celebrate: 'Praise God'
Fox News
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared Tuesday that an amendment that would have created a constitutional right to abortion and another that would have legalized marijuana failed.
The two amendments are projected to fail, as they did not reach approval from 60% of Florida voters after polls closed at 7 p.m. in the state.
Amendment 3 would have legalized recreational marijuana, which has increasingly been legalized in states across the nation. While on the issue of abortion, DeSantis signed The Heartbeat Protection Act into law last year, which banned most abortions after six weeks of gestation.
This year, Florida residents voted on Amendment 4, the Right to Abortion Initiative, which works to overturn the ban.
