Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has indicated that he wants to end his ongoing feud with Disney over the company's lawsuit against the state. In an interview on CNBC's "Last Call," DeSantis stated that they have "basically moved on" from the issue and suggested that Disney should drop the lawsuit. He also expressed willingness to speak with Disney CEO Bob Iger. DeSantis highlighted his efforts to keep businesses open during the Covid-19 pandemic and claimed that "no one has made Disney more money recently than me."

The feud between DeSantis and Disney began when the company publicly criticized Florida's Legislature for passing the "Don't Say Gay" bill, which banned teachers from discussing gender identity and sexual orientation. Disney filed a federal lawsuit against the governor in April, alleging retaliation and violations of its First Amendment rights. In response, DeSantis and other state officials passed legislation to strip Disney of control over a special district that covers its Florida theme parks. The governor's standoff with Disney has drawn criticism as he seeks the GOP presidential nomination. However, his recent comments suggest a possible resolution to the conflict.
