Florida's chamber of commerce has been silent on the growing feud between Disney and Ron DeSantis, as the lobbying giant has previously backed the governor.

The feud has trickled into the 2024 Republican primary for president, as DeSantis considers a run for the White House. Former President, who has called DeSantis' fight with Disney a "political stunt," is planning to use a similar attack on the Florida governor if he enters the race, according to a person close to Trump who declined to be named to speak freely about the campaign's strategy.

The records show that the Florida Chamber of Commerce has reason not to get involved with the bitter feud despite having a historic alliance to Disney. Charles Lydecker, the CEO of insurance company Foundation Risk Partners, was a board member for the Florida Chamber as of 2020, according to a tax form filed by the group. Those forms are the most recent publicly available tax documents for the organization.him to the board of governors of the state university system. Lydecker, who is listed as a Chamber board member on the state university system's website, did not return a request for comment.
