Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has reportedly signed a new book deal with HarperCollins.

The Hill reports:

One source inside the publishing industry told Politico that DeSantis had previously agreed to a book deal with Simon and Schuster that was valued at almost $2 million, but ultimately pulled out of the deal after discovering that the publisher is owned by Paramount, the same parent company of CBS News’ “60 Minutes” — which published an investigation into the state’s vaccine rollout in April.

DeSantis denied the report, which claimed that the governor funneled the state’s COVID-19 vaccines to wealthy communities and privatized the rollout of the inoculation to benefit donors, leaving many minorities struggling to get a shot. The long-running news program, however, defended the segment.

HarperCollins is a branch of News Corp, which is a media company led by the Murdoch family.

The reported book would be the second DeSantis has published. In 2011 he published “Dreams From Our Founding Fathers: First Principles in the Age of Obama,” which was published by HPH Publishing.

DeSantis’ new book deal comes amid heightened scrutiny he may be planning to run for president in 2024.
