Why did you choose to use NBC as your source for this claim? We know that NBC is a left leaning source, so do you think their claim for this statement would be biased?

I also found another supportive article from an alternative news site, ABC News. They claim to have gotten their information straight from an anonymous source "close to the governor". ABC also uses statements straight from DeSantis. Now that there are multiple reports of this coming from both NBC and ABC I believe this claim to be true.
