Besides that, the 34-year-old lead singer’s announcement comes after she was accused of being uncomfortable to talk politics on tour.
Meanwhile, DeSantis, who is the current governor of Florida, is all set to run for the 2024 US Presidential elections and will compete against former US President Donald Trump.
He spoke about his decision during an interview with Fox & Friends on Memorial Day.
He stated, ‘I will be able to destroy leftism in this country and leave woke ideology on the dustbin of history.’
If you didn’t know, he is best known for signing multiple anti-LGBTQ+ bills which focus on drag shows, transgender kids, and pronouns.
Furthermore, this is not the first time Williams has addressed politics. She is known for advocating LGBTQ+ rights. She criticized Tennessee’s drag ban earlier this year in February.
Bad news, Ron DeSantis fans.
