The Senate issued a news release early Monday evening, with Sen. Nick DiCeglie, R-Indian Rocks Beach, saying he joined DeSantis to see the bills signed. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Florida is proud to follow the leadership of President Trump as the first state to officially recognize the Gulf of America,&#8221; DiCeglie, who sponsored one of the bills in the Senate, said in a prepared statement. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;American exceptionalism isn&#8217;t an abstract idea, it is an absolute fact that we must recognize and celebrate. In Florida, we will always put America first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/search\/author\/cbs-miami-team\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">CBS Miami  Team<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__image\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/search\/author\/cbs-miami-team\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n              <span class=\"img \"><img alt=\"cbs4-new-logo-hi-res.png \" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2023\/06\/01\/91cdd6f2-a053-40dc-b94c-980c5d080bc3\/thumbnail\/80x80\/a9422b0365fd00b24cc8e16b0d445637\/cbs4-new-logo-hi-res.png?v=22a842e47fa1552047fb956f78e1acf0 1x\"\/><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">The CBS Miami team is a group of experienced journalists who bring you the content on CBSMiami.com.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/gov-desantis-signs-gulf-of-america-bills\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS News Miami Live Gov.
