TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Ron DeSantis took the oath of office for his second term as governor on Tuesday.

He took his oath in front of the state’s historic Capitol, where the main street through the city was renamed Ron DeSantis Way for the day. The theme of the event is "The Free State of Florida."

The governor was sworn in alongside Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nunez.

According to Bay News 9’s partner newspaper the Tampa Bay Times, donors are paying anywhere from $50,000 to $1 million for special inauguration packages that include a dinner tonight, the ceremony tomorrow and at the black-tie inaugural ball tomorrow night.

This was the first major speech by DeSantis since election night.

It was closely watched by a national audience to see if there are any hints about DeSantis's potential presidential ambitions. 

Florida’s legislative session begins in two months, and DeSantis is promising legislation that will create what he calls family friendly tax cuts, expand gun rights and make it more difficult for teachers to join unions.

While he hasn’t announced details, DeSantis has also said he supports additional restrictions on abortions.

Here are some the priorities he's already laid out:

• A grand jury investigation into COVID-19 vaccines to determine if there was any wrongdoing or false claims by the pharmaceutical companies.
  
  
• Expanding gun rights in the state...the governor say he will sign what supporters call "constitutional carry" which is carrying a concealed firearm without a special permit.
  
  
• And the possibility of further restrictions on abortion. The governor has suggested he would support restrictions beyond the current 15-week abortion ban.
